Why the USD → ZMW rate moves
The value of the zambian kwacha against the US dollar shifts constantly with trade flows, inflation, and decisions by Zambia's central bank. For anyone earning online, that matters: most earning platforms pay in US dollars, so the amount that lands in your MTN or Airtel Money account depends on the rate at the moment you cash out.
The simplest way to avoid losing value is to withdraw to a local rail that converts at a fair rate. On BountyCore's cashout page you can see exactly which methods are available in Zambia and the minimum for each.
