Recovery sequence

1. Retrieve the mobile money cash-out dispute receipt, acknowledgement, portal message and every document supplied under the existing reference.
2. Ask the mobile-money operator first, with the RBZ and POTRAZ responsible for the aspects they regulate to classify the case as incomplete, under verification, referred, approved or refused and to identify the responsible stage.
3. Match the stated problem against the transaction reference, amount and timestamp, the agent number, name and location and wallet statement, messages, witness or cash-shortfall details and case number rather than sending an unrelated bundle.
