BANKING MADE EASY

You will find Southern Africa an easy destination. From the moment you step off the plane you will start seeing banks, bureaux de change and automatic tellers all over.

The banks are generally open from 9am to 3.30pm Mondays through Fridays, and 8.30am to 11am on Saturdays, but those at the airports adjust their hours to accommodate international flights.

The major banks have branches as well as automated teller machines (ATMs) in most large towns – and all over the cities. International banks have branches in the major cities. Thomas Cook, represented by Rennies Travel, and American Express foreign exchange offices are also available in the major cities.
