Malawi uses the Malawian kwacha, written as MWK. It has been the official currency since 1971, replacing the Malawian pound. Banknotes feature national heroes, cultural symbols, and landscapes. Cash is widely used, though cards are accepted in bigger towns and cities like Lilongwe and Blantyre. The kwacha’s value can fluctuate due to economic factors. ATMs and exchange offices are available for travelers. The kwacha is a central part of Malawi’s economy and cultural identity.
