What you should know about exchanging money in Maun

Before exchanging money in Maun or any foreign city, it's important to be informed to avoid excessive charges and get the best deals. Consider opening a bank account in Botswana for long-term stays or substantial investments like buying property or cars.

1. Beware of 'zero fee' services
Services claiming 'no commission' often offer poor exchange rates, not reflecting the mid-market rate, leading to hidden profits for them.

2. Check the exchange rate beforehand
Familiarize yourself with the base rate to identify a bad deal from exchange services.

3. Avoid exchanging money at airports or hotels
Convenience comes at a price, as airports and hotels usually offer poor rates and high transaction fees.

4. Use ATMs strategically
Check if your home bank has partnerships in Botswana banks to avoid extra ATM fees, and inform your bank before traveling.


5. Opt for local currency
When using an ATM abroad, choose to be charged in Botswanan pulas for a fairer rate and avoid undisclosed exchange rates and additional fees.
