I mean, its already linked to my Ecocash account so why not just make it a MasterCard students can use to buy their online resources or when they leave the country on holiday. Yes of course they are an Econet subsidiary of sorts and this would feel like an attack on the Ecocash Debit Card but it would be a great business move, Bold and rewarding!

At a time like this when the lack of cash in banks is not inspiring confidence that feature would have made the difference. Steward Bank should have gone for the market jugular. Meek business decisions are never great ones. Steward Bank can easily turn this into a revolutionary product.
