Southern Business Services (SBS) has been the sole appointed clearing agent for ZIMOCO for many years. ZIMOCO has enjoyed excellent service from the SBS team and testament to this statement, is the fact that Southern Business Services provides clearing services to most of the motor vehicle dealerships in Zimbabwe, amongst other related industries. I have no reason not to recommend their good services to another organization.
