What is a Mukuru Wallet?
The Mukuru Wallet in Zambia: Two Pockets, Double the Power
The Mukuru Wallet is more than just a place to store your money — it’s a smart, secure, and flexible way to manage your finances. With two unique pockets — Transactional and Zero-rated — you get more control, more benefits, and more convenience.
How the Mukuru Wallet Works
When you open a Mukuru Wallet, you get access to two pockets:
Zambezi: For everyday transactions like cash-ins, DMT (Domestic Money Transfers), and sending or receiving money.
Mahala: For receiving aid money and international remittances (IMTs). This pocket offers zero fees on cash-outs and earns you interest quarterly.
