After my rant last time, I got to my bank and the
management took me aside for a talk. I explained my frustrations which they
acknowledged and gave me their explanation for what had occurred. I didn't take
their word at face value. I waited to see what would happen in reality.
I have been making successive withdrawal over the past few
days. No challenges at all. Ndiri kungopihwa ma$20 notes angu ndoenda. I have
now come to believe the explanation I was given by my CBZ team of bankers. The
other thing, I am now informed that our forex is being kept by the bank, it
does not reach the RBZ. I trust my bank and to show confidence in them, I've
opened another NOSTRO FCA for my company. I hope and pray that trust is not
misplaced.
However, there are a few issues that need to be
straightened between banks and he RBZ, for these NOSTROs to be effective.
- The $1 000 withdrawal limit for personal accounts is OK.
- We need to have inter NOSTRO accounts transfers activated
- Remove limits on VISA cards and link them to NOSTROs
- Enable TTs to personal accounts
As for all else, I feel confident that these NOSTROs will
work for businesses and the general public. Hopefully, we will soon see the
backside of Bond Notes. Albert Ndabandi
