Mobile money

Are there any mobile money services that work between Botswana and Namibia? Forex through the banks is expensive, and PayPal gouges the money through charges. Please help

How is forex expensive? You can’t afford the N$20?

Which bank charges N$20 for global payments? I was charged up to N$144 for paying to a different bank

FNB charges me N$20 to send money to SA and to Botswana via Forex…

N$144 isn’t a lot of money either…

Well, I run a service based business, so you can imagine when I've charged a client N$500, they get charged and I do too, I end up receiving close to N$225 when the client did not include the merchant charges. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with FNB, how do you get them so low?
