Frequently asked questions
Why is Blue Wallet free at withdrawal?
Standard Bank zero-rates Blue Wallet withdrawal at its own ATMs to drive customers to its network. At other banks' ATMs (Saswitch), an off-network fee applies.
Do you need a Standard Bank account to send a Blue Wallet?
Yes to initiate the send. To receive, any Namibian cellphone works.
