Zimbabwe street rate for PSP payout reconciliation

The task: pay out in ZWG without losing margin to the gap

PSPs and payout networks that settle in Zimbabwe gold sit between an official rate and the rate people actually pay on the street. When the two move apart, a payout priced off the wrong reference quietly eats margin or leaves senders and recipients disputing the amount. Finance and operations teams need a neutral number to reconcile against each day, and an early signal when their own rate starts to drift.

Today's street rate
