Equity Bank Increases Walk-In Foreign Exchange Limit to USD 5,000

Equity Bank has made foreign exchange services faster, easier, and more convenient by increasing the walk-in foreign exchange (FX) transaction limit at all branches from USD 1,000 to USD 5,000 (or equivalent in GBP/EUR/AED/ZAR).

For years, walk-in customers needing foreign exchange services have faced challenges like low transaction limits, requiring multiple trips to the bank, and the difficulty of finding reliable, competitive rates. The process has often been anything but seamless.

Take Esther, a mother of two, for example. While planning her dream family vacation abroad, she spent weeks researching destinations, booking flights, and organizing every detail to ensure the perfect getaway. However, when it came time to exchange currency for the trip, the previous transaction limit meant she had to make multiple trips to the bank to complete the process.

Balancing her busy schedule, Esther found herself wishing for a more efficient solution—one that would allow her to finalize her travel plans and spend quality time with her kids without the hassle of repeated visits to the bank.

Now, with Equity Bank’s increased walk-in FX transaction limit, customers like Esther can exchange up to USD 5,000 (or equivalent in GBP/EUR/AED/ZAR) in a single visit. This eliminates the need for repeated trips and reduces stress, giving you more time to focus on what truly matters.

In summary, this means:

• No More Multiple Trips: Exchange higher amounts in a single visit, saving you time and effort.
• Seamless and Reliable Service: All Equity Bank branches are equipped to handle your transactions efficiently, ensuring a smooth experience.
• Accessible to Everyone: The increased limit applies to both Equity Bank customers and non-customers (walk-ins).
• Simple Documentation: Walk-in customers only need to present identification documents to complete their transactions.
• Competitive Rates: Equity Bank offers competitive rates for all FX transactions, with preferential rates available for larger amounts or customized needs.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur importing goods from overseas, an expatriate managing regular foreign currency transactions, or a freelancer handling international payments, you can now exchange up to USD 5,000 (or equivalent in GBP/EUR/AED/ZAR) in a single visit at any Equity Bank branch.
