NMB has the following types of accounts on offer at the moment:

  • NMB Lite Account
  • Normal or Standard ZWL Bank Account
  • Nostro Account

NMB Prepaid Visa

Technically NMB doesn’t have a prepaid Visa or MasterCard. What they have is a pre-funded card. You need to open a Nostro account with them. Your Visa card will be linked to this Nostro account. You can, however, deposit USD/Forex into this account and it will be available to use. You can also receive funds via Wire Transfer and they can be used with the card. This makes the card similar to any of the prepaid cards from other banks.

How to apply for the NMB Visa Card?

As already hinted above you need to open an FCA account (now called Nostro account) with NMB. If you already have a Nostro account with them you can apply for the card by filling a form you can download from here.

What do I need to open a Nostro Account with NMB?

If you don’t have a Nostro account you need the following documents:

  • Copy of ID/ Passport
  • 2 passport-sized photos
  • Proof of residence e.g. water utility bill, ZOL invoice etc
  • Proof of income e.g. payslip or affidavit

What are the limits for the NMB Visa Card?

  • Cash withdrawals are limited to US$D1 000.00 daily
  • POS/ Online payments are limited to USD5 000.00 daily
