Disadvantages of the zanaco xapit account.

Despite this account being the first i opened for myself, I did enjoy but again it was a bit useless to me. here are my disadvantages i noticed.

  • The Zanaco visa card is not VERIFIED BY VISA – the card is a visa card, but it cant allow you to make payments online that require verified by visa card which is a type of security where before your payment goes through, you will need to receive an OTP to your number and enter the code on website. This does not work, even my friends experienced the same, the message may come but it never works at all.
  • With the Zanaco xapit account, you can only see transactions such as deposits, withdrawals ,airtime and bills payments, but you can not see visa payments transactions.
  • Checking your balance frequently, Zanaco deducts your balance.
  • checking your transaction history, Zanaco deducts money from your account too.
  • apart from all these above, with Zanaco, I have encountered money disappearing from no where in my account several times, not I alone, but also a lot of people have experienced this, for proof, you can see these on their facebook page.

    • I suggest opening an account with STANDARD CHARTERED BANK ZAMBIA through their mobile app and create a bank account online and your Visa card will be delivered to you,There is an option for foreigners, the account is super cool, no monthly fees, you can make both local and international payments and vice versa

    • You can use Xapit to purchase online anywhere where they don’t require Verified by visa Otp, whereee an OTp has to be sent to your number to verify transactions, with Xapit, it does not work.
