## Why customers choose MalawiDomains

The main reason is the payment. Customers pay in Malawi Kwacha with the money
they already hold. An international registrar asks for a card in United States
dollars, and most people and small businesses in Malawi do not hold one. That
single step stops them from owning a domain name. MalawiDomains removes it.
A customer pays with Airtel Money, TNM Mpamba or a local bank transfer, in
kwacha, and the domain is registered.

The other reasons:

1. Pay in kwacha, with mobile money or a local bank. No foreign card is needed.
2. The domain is theirs. The registration carries their name and details.
3. One price. Nothing is added at the end.
4. Fast registration.
5. An invoice and a receipt in kwacha for the business books.

## Three steps

1. Search the name. The registry is checked and the kwacha price is shown.
2. Pay with Airtel Money, TNM Mpamba, a bank transfer or a card.
3. Use the domain. Point it at a website or at business email from the panel.
