Birmingham, United Kingdom: Emperor Roy Mupoto (Emps Roy) Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ZimX Finance, was recognised with two awards at the UK–Zimbabwe Business Expo 2025, celebrating leadership and innovation across the global Zimbabwean diaspora.
Mupoto received honours in Technology & Innovation and Inspiring Diaspora Returnee, acknowledging his work to connect UK and Zimbabwean financial systems through compliant, transparent digital-payment infrastructure.
ZimX Finance, a UK-registered fintech operating under Blackmass Enterprises Ltd (UK), is developing audited, regulator-visible financial rails that channel diaspora capital into Zimbabwe’s reform economy. The company’s approach aligns with Vision 2030 and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s fintech modernisation agenda.
The awards were presented by Mr Levi Upenyu Mukono, Deputy Ambassador of the Republic of Zimbabwe to the United Kingdom, during a ceremony attended by leading entrepreneurs, policymakers, and innovators driving bilateral growth between the two nations. The UK–Zimbabwe Business Expo has become a landmark annual platform for trade and collaboration, recognizing excellence across finance, technology, property, media, and the creative sectors.
“This recognition reflects more than fintech innovation: it’s about reconnecting global Zimbabweans with the tools to rebuild and reinvest in our homeland,” said Emperor Roy Mupoto. “ZimX Finance represents trust, compliance, and collaboration between the UK and Zimbabwe, creating transparent systems that enable sustainable development across generations.”
ZimX Finance is engaged with both the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) through innovation and sandbox pathways. Its dual-token ecosystem, ZIMX (utility and governance) and ZiGX (reserve-backed settlement asset), underpins audited, regulator-visible remittance and merchant-payment infrastructure across the UK–Zimbabwe corridor. The company has also signed a 12-month Managed Service Provider (MSP) agreement with Boosty Labs for core build and unit testing.
Mupoto’s dual recognition at the 2025 Expo underscores ZimX Finance’s mission to merge compliance with innovation, building sustainable, inclusive financial infrastructure for Zimbabwe and the global diaspora.
