Visa today celebrated the winners of its Zambia Cross Border We Accept Campaign, a consumer promotion designed to reward cardholders for using their Visa cards for international purchases while highlighting the ease, security, and convenience of cross-border payments.
The campaign, which ran from 15 May to 16 August 2026, encouraged eligible Visa cardholders in Zambia to use their Visa cards for international transactions, whether online or in-store. To qualify, participants were required to spend ZMW 3,500 or more per month on international purchases using the same Visa card during the promotional period.
Following a random electronic draw conducted under independent supervision and subsequent verification by participating in issuing banks, four winners were selected, with each winner receiving the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable Cape Town experience for themselves and one companion.
The all-expenses-paid experience includes return flights between Lusaka and Cape Town, hotel accommodation for four days and three nights, ground transportation, meals as outlined in the itinerary, a Visa prepaid card, and a curated programme of activities showcasing the best of Cape Town’s culture, hospitality, and attractions.
“Through the Cross Border We Accept Campaign, we wanted to reward our cardholders while demonstrating how simple and convenient it is to use Visa for international purchases,” said Amon Magunje, Country Manager for Visa Zambia. “As commerce becomes increasingly global and digital, Visa remains committed to helping consumers make secure and seamless payments wherever they shop, whether online or while travelling.”
The campaign was open to Visa and Visa Business cardholders aged 18 years and older who are residents of Zambia and hold cards issued by participating banks, including Zambia National Commercial Bank, Ecobank, Stanbic Bank, First Capital Bank, Zambia Industrial Commercial Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Indo-Zambia Bank, FNB Zambia, United Bank of Africa, ABSA Bank Zambia, Atlas Mara, Access Bank, First Alliance Bank, and Zambia National Building Society.
The winners departed for Cape Town on 2 October 2026, where they will enjoy a carefully curated itinerary featuring iconic attractions, local cuisine, and memorable cultural experiences. The experience reflects Visa’s commitment to delivering greater value to cardholders while inspiring confidence in cross-border commerce.
The Zambia Cross Border We Accept Campaign forms part of Visa’s ongoing efforts to support digital payments adoption and empower consumers with secure, reliable, and convenient payment solutions across borders.
