Standard Bank Namibia says it has made banking more convenient and transparent for international visitors through the availability of Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) across its nationwide ATM network.
The service allows eligible international cardholders to view and complete cash withdrawals in their home currency when using Standard Bank Namibia ATMs, including the bank’s Small Express ATM devices.
With Dynamic Currency Conversion, international customers can see the value of their withdrawal in a familiar currency before completing the transaction, the bank said. This provides greater clarity and enables informed decision-making while travelling in Namibia, it added.
“Dynamic Currency Conversion is more than a convenience feature. It forms part of our broader digital payments strategy, where payments are not simply transactions, but a key driver of client engagement and value creation. Every interaction presents an opportunity to deliver a more seamless, personalised and transparent banking experience,” said Burger Smith, head of digital and ecommerce.
“Behind this offering is a deliberate investment in digital innovation, payments technology, data capabilities and secure infrastructure. Standard Bank Namibia continues to enhance its payments ecosystem to improve customer experiences, strengthen security, and deliver smarter, more intuitive banking services,” the bank added.
When an eligible international cardholder withdraws cash from a Standard Bank Namibia ATM, they may be presented with the option to complete the transaction in their home currency.
Customers can then choose whether to proceed with the transaction using DCC or continue with the withdrawal in Namibian Dollars.
Standard Bank said as Namibia continues to welcome visitors from around the world, the bank remains committed to building a digitally enabled banking ecosystem that makes everyday transactions simpler, more secure and more convenient.
“Through continuous investment in payments innovation and client-centric technology, the bank is creating seamless banking experiences that support both local customers and international travellers.”
