Equity Bank has announced an increase in its walk-in foreign exchange transaction limit across all branches, allowing customers to exchange up to USD 5,000, or its equivalent in GBP, EUR, AED, or ZAR, in a single visit.
Previously capped at USD 1,000, the new limit is designed to make FX services faster, more convenient, and more accessible for both customers and non-customers.
The move comes in response to longstanding challenges faced by individuals and businesses who frequently need foreign currency. For many, the previous limit meant making several trips to complete a single transaction, often resulting in delays and disrupted schedules.
Equity Bank says the new limit will benefit a wide range of clients, from travelers preparing for overseas trips, to entrepreneurs importing goods, expatriates handling cross-border finances, and freelancers receiving international payments. The service is open to both account holders and walk-in customers who simply need to present valid identification.
In addition to higher limits, the bank offers competitive FX rates, with preferential pricing available for larger amounts or customized transaction needs. All Equity Bank branches are equipped to process the updated limits, ensuring a seamless and reliable experience nationwide.
The enhanced walk-in FX service underscores Equity Bank’s broader commitment to providing accessible and customer-centered financial solutions, reducing barriers to essential banking services and supporting both personal and business transactions with greater ease.
