Payouts to Zambia
Pay Zambian kwacha from USDT or USDC
Zambia's economy runs on copper, and the corridor follows it: mining contractors, transport operators and engineering suppliers in Lusaka, Kitwe and Ndola invoice in kwacha. XEROF pays ZMW to a Zambian bank account from a USDT or USDC balance, up to the equivalent of USD 100,000 per payment.

Paying Zambia from Zug: timing and practicalities
Lusaka is on Central Africa Time, one hour ahead of Zug in winter and the same in summer. Kwacha payments confirmed in the Swiss morning are credited the same Zambian banking day; Zambian banks clear on weekdays and close for national holidays.
Beneficiaries are addressed by sort code and account number. Mining-service contractors on the Copperbelt and agricultural exporters are the typical beneficiaries, and the kwacha leg is quoted per payment on the confirmation.
What XEROF needs before the first payment
- Beneficiary name, bank, sort code and account number.
- The invoice or contract the kwacha payment settles.
- Supporting documents for larger business payments, requested before release.

- USD 100,000 equivalent per payment, set by the receiving market.
