The Bank of Zambia requires all commercial banks to onboard the Mobile Payments Module of Phase Two of the National Financial Switch according to a staggered schedule. The implementation timeline spans October and November 2020, assigning specific pilot and go-live dates to three distinct banking groups. Failure to meet these deadlines will trigger penalties under Section 43 of the National Payment Systems Act, enabling instant bank-to-bank and wallet transactions.
