Receive a SWIFT payment

  • Most of the time incoming payment messages come complete with details of payment, and you would be aware that you are receiving money from outside the common monetary area (CMA).
  • If the details are not clear, we will notify you as soon as we have received your money.
  • In case of the above, you will be required, as prescribed by the Central Bank of Lesotho, to disclose the purpose of the money by completing an integrated form before the money can be released into your Nedbank account.

Please note the following:

  • In terms of Exchange Control Regulations 1989 and the Currency and Exchanges Manual for Authorised Dealers 2019, Nedbank Lesotho is required to accept money from outside the  CMA in foreign currency, preferably the United States dollar, the euro or the British pound sterling, and not in the South African rand (ZAR).
  • The CMA countries are South Africa, Namibia, Eswatini and Lesotho.
  • All Nedbank clients are hereby requested to inform or engaged with anyone who is going to send them money from a non-CMA country to make sure that the money is transferred in 1 of the above-mentioned currencies mentioned and not in ZAR.

Please note the following:

  • Our SWIFT address is NEDLLSMX.
  • We can process SWIFT transfers to you only if you are an existing Nedbank accountholder.

Changes to CMA payments

There has been changes to cross-border payment arrangements between the CMA countries, which may have an impact on how you send and receive money.
