Paying your South African suppliers from Namibia.
There is no exchange rate to argue about, and businesses still wait. Since September 2024 payments between Common Monetary Area countries no longer clear domestically and route internationally instead, which added days and cost to a payment that used to be simple.
How this corridor works.
What you pay in, what your supplier receives, and what to expect on rate, cost and timing.
Why this corridor is the way it is.
The Namibian dollar is pegged one for one to the rand and the rand is legal tender here. What you pay and what your supplier receives is the same number, so the only thing to solve is the delay.
Because there is no currency conversion in this payment, our job here is narrow and specific: remove the days that appeared when these payments stopped clearing domestically, and make sure the full amount lands. That should make this one of the cheapest routes we run, and we have priced it that way.
Common in Namibia.
- Retail and wholesale
- Fishing and marine supplies
- Construction
- Mining services
These are the sectors that buy from South Africa most often and on the tightest schedule. If yours is not listed, the payment works the same way.
