Zanele Morrison

Zanele Morrison is the Founder and CEO of PayMint South Africa, an embedded finance fintech that gives workers and SMEs fair, simple access to money when it matters most. To Zanele, financial inclusion is about more than products. It’s about dignity.

Millions of South Africans are judged by their bank balance before anyone sees their potential. They pay more to access their own money and are shut out of life’s defining moments. PayMint exists to change that. Her belief is simple: equity and success should never be held back by a lack of access to money. When people are treated equitably in the smallest ways, the ways that count the most, they can plan, build and thrive. PayMint serves SMEs in logistics, construction, financial services and retail. It gives them simple funding and payment solutions so they can deliver quality work, run sustainably and grow into big businesses. Working with employers, banks and partners, PayMint places these tools inside the platforms and workplaces people already use, so access comes to them instead of waiting to be found. Zanele brings more than 20 years of senior experience at Vodacom, Accenture, EY and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, where she was Director of Marketing and Corporate Affairs. As a business anchor on CNBC Africa and a moderator for the Visa Fintech Accelerator and leadership and policy forums across the continent. She now applies that experience to building inclusion into the financial system itself, with a model built to last.
