MOCHA Cyclone Relief Efforts by KBZ Bank, KBZPay and KBZPay Market (May 2023) 

“STAND TOGETHER TO SUPPORT THE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY CYCLONE MOCHA” CAMPAIGN

KBZPay Market, in collaboration with the Myanmar Red Cross Society (MRCS), has initiated a joint endeavor to provide assistance to individuals residing in regions impacted by the devastating MOCHA Cyclone in Myanmar. This includes areas such as Sittwe, Mrauk-u, Kyaukphyu, Kyauktaw, Gwa, and other townships in Rakhine State.

Donors can purchase “MOCHA Cyclone Relief Care Packages” and other essential items such as food, medicines, and consumer goods through the “Stand Together to Support the People Affected by Cyclone MOCHA” campaign page on KBZPay Market. KBZPay Market and the Myanmar Red Cross Society (MRCS) will collaborate in delivering the donated items to those affected by the cyclone.

To contribute to the cause, donors are kindly requested to provide the delivery address as “Yangon Region” in the Region box and mention “Red Cross” in the Address box instead of their personal address.  Orders addressed to the Red Cross will be prioritized and expedited to the affected individuals, while personal orders without mention of “Red Cross” in the address will be processed based on remaining stock availability.

The delivery fees will be promptly refunded to customers’ KBZPay wallets within 48 hours.

This assistance extends not only to the branches and KBZ Bank’s employees but also to their families. Employees in the affected areas can directly report their concerns, or other employees, who have received information from those in affected areas, can relay the information on their behalf.

KBZ Bank’s Admin and DPS ( Digital Professional Services) Teams are also providing timely support for cleaning, disinfection, and security management, as well as the repair and construction needs of the affected branches.
