This year has been unlike the last two years in many ways. Although prices and service fees have gone up on occasion it hasn’t been nearly at the rates we were now getting used to. The fact still remains though that the prices of things are going up. Ecocash has just reminded us of this fact by announcing that they will be hiking their tariffs by as much as 10% next month.

The following new tariffs will now apply when you are sending money to other users.
