🇧🇼 Withdraw P1,000 in Botswana: fees by provider
To withdraw P1,000 in Botswana, fees range from P22.00 (MyZaka, the cheapest) to P23.41. Which provider you pick genuinely changes what you pay.
P1,000 is a common mid-size amount in Botswana — roughly a week's shopping at Choppies. 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 we're mid-band: the real lever is paying the recipient directly rather than the withdraw-then-cash chain. At 2.2% effective, this is where comparing providers pays most — the relative gap between cheapest and priciest is wide around here.
At P1,000, this amount falls in a pricing band where a flat P23 fee applies at the reference provider. The next band starts at P1,001, where pricing changes — worth knowing if your amount is near that threshold. At P1,000 the typical destination is a recurring bill — rent, school, supplier — and half of Botswana landlords now accept direct wallet payment; asking for the merchant code before reaching for cash cuts the cash leg.
This size sits in the flat P23 P501–P1,000 band; the adjacent band is flat P46 P1,001–P2,000. Full table on the Botswana withdrawal charges page.
