Banks in Zambia

The history of banks in Zambia traces back to Northern Rhodesia and the British colonial rule.

Presently the Bank of Zambia (BoZ) serves as the national banking regulator in the republic. Zambia’s central bank was established in 1964, taking over the functions of the Bank of Northern Rhodesia.

The Bank of Zambia has origins in the 1938 formation of the Southern Rhodesia Currency Board, which was based in Harare. The Board’s jurisdiction included Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia and Nyasaland, now Malawi.

In 1954, the Southern Rhodesia Currency Board was renamed to Currency Board of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, the currency board was transformed into the Bank of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in 1956.

In 1964, the Bank of Zambia was created from the Bank of Northern Rhodesia, which itself had only formed a year earlier in 1963 from the Lusaka branch of the Rhodesia and Nyasaland bank.

BoZ supervises banks in Zambia, as well as formulating and implementing monetary policy in the country.
