LIMIT ON OVER-THE-COUNTER CASH AND CHEQUE TRANSACTIONS

The National Pension Scheme Authority wishes to announce that following the revision of the Item Value Limit on cheques by the Bank of Zambia, that takes effect on 14^th April 2017, NAPSA will only be accepting cash and cheque payments of up to five thousand kwacha (K5,000) and twenty five thousand (K25,000) respectively.

This is in line with the government’s decision to scale up the use of electronic channels to settle payments. In this regard, all NAPSA payment systems will be configured accordingly.

To facilitate a smooth transition, the proposed changes will take effect on 1^st April 2017 at NAPSA.

Please be further advised that any attempt to circumvent this requirement by the Bank of Zambia by splitting cheques is illegal and will attract serious punitive sanctions from the regulators.
