🇧🇼 Send P250 in Botswana: fees by provider
To send P250 in Botswana, fees range from P5.00 (MyZaka, the cheapest) to P6.00. Which provider you pick genuinely changes what you pay.
P250 is a small everyday sum in Botswana — roughly a combi fare in Gaborone and airtime. Botswana has three mobile money operators — Orange Money, MyZaka (Mascom) and Smega (BTC) — in a pula that floats on a rand-heavy SDR basket.
At this size the fixed fee dominates — one consolidated send beats two split sends. The cheapest (MyZaka) works out at 2.0%; a flat fee, where it applies, still counts at this size.
At P250, this amount falls in a pricing band where a flat P6 fee applies at the reference provider. This is the top band: the tariff does not change above it. At this size (P250), the reflex is to pay a Gaborone merchant straight from the Orange wallet via the merchant code — a combi fare, airtime, a sandwich carry no operator fee on a direct debit instead of a withdraw-then-cash chain.
