How to Send Money From Nigeria To Zambia With Yellow Pay
Yellow Pay For Zambia
With Yellow Pay, you can send money easily from Nigeria to Zambia and vice versa. Cross-border payment is integral to many countries' economies because it contributes significantly to the GDP and improves people's lives, and Zambia is not exempted from this economic activity.
Data from the Global Economy, as of 2021, shows that Zambia payment is valued at about 241.69 million US dollars. However, the state of payment in Zambia is poor as the world average as of 2021 was $4566.00 million, although there is room for improvement.
Let’s take a look at how to send money from Nigeria to Zambia in minutes and how this is changing the economic landscape in the country.
The State of Cross-border Payment in Zambia
As a result of the below-average payments received by Zambia, the percentage of payments contributing to the country's GDP is low at about 0.69815 % in 2020.
However, it has dramatically improved when comparing the value of cross-border payments received by Zambia in a decade. As of 2010, the number of payments accepted by Zambia contributed only about 0.2692% of the country's GDP.
Zambia is experiencing issues regarding cross-border payment because of many factors, but the major problem is its financial sector. Zambia has many cases regarding sending money into and out of the country, mainly because of the high rate.
It costs a large chunk of money to send any amount into Zambia; the rate charged by financial institutions and services is very high compared to other countries. To send about $100 to Zambia, the sender has to pay 8.2% of that amount in charges. This makes it hard for those in the diaspora to send vast amounts of money to their families and relatives.
Another issue is that getting the suitable identification required to receive and send money across Zambia is hard. However, the government of Gambia continues to address the problems faced in getting identification documents and the issues with dual citizenship. These are the problems that Yellow Pay has solved successfully.
