NAD (Namibian dollar) and ZAR (South African rand) circulate in parallel at a 1:1 exchange rate. The rand is accepted everywhere in Namibia, but NAD is not accepted abroad. Russians send money to Namibia to family and business partners through Standard Bank or FNB. IBAN is not used in Namibia: transfers use the bank's SWIFT/BIC and account number. No sanctions.

Namibia's Payment Ecosystem

The route, the receiving bank and the payout amount are agreed before payment.

The national currency is the Namibian dollar (NAD), which is divided into 100 cents and is pegged to the South African rand at a fixed rate of 1 NAD = 1 ZAR. Namibia is part of the Common Monetary Area along with South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini, so the South African rand is legal tender and is widely used alongside NAD. However, the reverse is not true: the Namibian dollar is typically not accepted in South Africa. For transfers, this means it is best to clarify the recipient's account and the currency of deposit in advance, especially if the recipient frequently travels between Namibia and South Africa. The central bank and regulator is the Bank of Namibia, located in Windhoek. The main banking centers in the country are Windhoek, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, and Oshakati. IBAN format is not used in Namibia: for international SWIFT transfers, you typically need the bank's SWIFT/BIC, account number, and recipient's name.

Local details and transfer conditions

The official language is English, so details are filled in Latin characters without additional transliteration; in everyday life, Afrikaans, Oshiwambo, and other local languages are also widely used, and Swakopmund shows notable German colonial heritage. Namibia has not imposed its own sanctions against Russia; however, any specific transfer depends on the recipient bank, correspondent chain, and standard AML/KYC checks. The country operates on UTC+2 timezone, which is 1 hour behind Moscow. ATM24 checks the available route in advance before confirming your request. International SWIFT transfers take 2–5 business days. ATM24 commission is from 0.9%.

How to Get Namibian Dollars

Pick the way that suits the recipient — we agree the route and the details before payment

To a Namibian Bank Card

Card networks are developed in cities, and deposits are made in the account currency. You need the card number and cardholder name in Latin characters. Deposits are made in Namibian dollars. Whether the card route works is confirmed before payment

To a Bank Account in NAD

Details without IBAN: bank SWIFT code, account number, and recipient's name. English is the official language; the name is transferred from the passport without changes. Clarify with the recipient which currency the account is opened in: rand accounts also exist. Route availability is confirmed before sending money

Cash in Major Cities

Cash withdrawal is available where the country's banking network is concentrated. Main locations are Windhoek, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, and Oshakati. The country is large and sparsely populated: hundreds of kilometers between cities. How much cash is available immediately is clarified when placing the order

  • Windhoek
  • Rundu
  • Walvisbay

For Namibia, you need the recipient's bank SWIFT code, account number, and name in Latin characters. The country does not use IBAN format, and English as the official language eliminates transliteration issues. The country has not imposed restrictions on transfers. Keep one thing in mind: outside Namibia, the local dollar is not accepted, which is why it is sent here and not rands.

    Initially I found the service in Google search through an ad banner. I went to read reviews on Yandex and Google, saw that on the maps there is only 1 point in Phuket and it's some kind of ATM. And the reviews are all 5 stars. There are photos, instructions, a website and everything seems to look nice, but it seems that making a website isn’t that hard, reviews can be bought along with photos. I decided to check it myself anyway (because I needed baht and the only thing to exchange was rubles on a card from a Russian bank). I checked, exchanged 5000 baht and everything works smoothly, maybe I'll use them again during my trip, since this time was a test for me. Special thanks to manager Stanislav for the help (I learned the manager’s name in the messenger after the exchange was completed). Upd: exchanged a second time for a larger amount, everything also went smoothly and at a rate not very different from the bank rate.

    How much will the recipient get in NAD if I send 1000 USD to Namibia?

    For a 1000 USD transfer to Namibia, the live NAD estimate depends on the current ATM24 route: the current result in the ATM24 calculator. ATM24 calculates fee from 0.9%, exchange conditions, and the recipient route through Bank Windhoek or First National Bank Namibia. The final NAD amount is fixed before payment.
