SOCIAL DYNAMICS AROUND CASHING OUT When anyone with a mobile phone and Zaad is notionally a cash out point. What happens when someone wants to pay you, but the tools to receive payment are not working? We encountered situations where mobile phone batteries were dead, the phone was being charged out of reach of the owner, or the phone was shared with others. In these situations the receiver can ask for cash, may receive USD or SLSH, and may need to provide change An alternative is to find someone nearby, most likely a retail outlet to receive the Zaad payment and cash out for you. It is considered a minor social inconvenience. “My phone battery is dead.
