About Orange Money in Botswana
Botswana has three mobile money operators — Orange Money, MyZaka (Mascom) and Smega (BTC) — in a pula that floats on a rand-heavy SDR basket. No state tax on mobile money; Smega is the only Botswana wallet that publishes direct international corridors to six African countries (Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique) from the BTC account.
On pricing, here is how Orange Money structures its fees. Sending is priced by band : flat P6 above P1. Cash-out is priced by band : flat P6 P25–P125; flat P8 P126–P250; flat P13 P251–P500; flat P23 P501–P1,000. Receiving money is free; the cost sits at sending and at cashing out to physical cash.
Government levy. There is currently no specific state mobile-money tax in Botswana: you pay only the operator's fee.
How to use it. You manage Orange Money via the mobile app, the operator's USSD menu (no internet needed), or an authorised agent to deposit and withdraw cash. Fees are identical on every channel — the schedule above applies with no per-channel surcharge, and an agent should never charge cash on top of the fee deducted from your balance.
