Pre-approved Overdraft Facility

What is a Pre-Approved Personal Overdraft?

Unlike the regular overdraft, the pre-approved overdraft only requires a single application and draw down can be done as and when required. The facility is available to Private Banking clients only and may be obtained on current accounts in either Kwacha (ZMW) or United States Dollar (USD). The facility can be secured using your existing fixed deposit funds held with the Bank or unsecured as long as your regular earnings or monthly salary are remitted to your current account held with the Bank.
