Out of 20 finalists, IroFit rose victorious winning the top prize of $10,000 USD.  IroFit aids small retailers connect better with their customers while supporting more reliability and trustworthiness between the two parties.

IroFit created what’s called an ZirooPay with a built-in EMV-Certified Payment terminal which customers can simply slide in their credit or debit card into along with their pin number to pay for their products.

Even more conveniently, the ZirooPay does not require internet access to use.  The compact means of accepting payments is easily mobile and can be transported and used properly everywhere regardless of Wi-Fi connection.

The payment process has been made simplified down so that even an electronic newbie could handle it. 

All types of payment cards can be used, making it very convenient for customers who limit themselves to certain companies or kinds of cards.  ZirooPay uses a DUKPT encryption that secures all payment data. The device is also tamper proof and does not have the ability to save any credit card information that is inputted in the machine.

IroFit along with the other top winners of the challenge will receive expert mentoring and access to the Ecobank ecosystem. 

The set-up and maintenance of the device is also very easy as it comes with a list of helpful, in-depth instructions, informative videos, FAQs, and attentive customer support if you come across any problems or confusions with the product.

The download for ZirooPay is also free online and designed specifically for small business with big aspirations.  Google Play Store offers the online download and it works on devices such as android phones and tablets.
