Mauritius Commercial Bank

Mauritius Commercial Bank, known as MCB, is a bank in Mauritius that combines business accounts with merchant acquiring. Its offer is directed at small and medium enterprises with turnover below MUR 100 million.

Business account The MCB Business Account is a current account in Mauritian rupees for SMEs, supplied with the JuicePro service and a deposit card. A digital application is designed for businesses registered in Mauritius, although identity verification still requires a visit to a branch. Applicants should therefore plan for at least one in-person step.

Merchant acquiring The bank also lists merchant acquiring and POS services, allowing a business to accept card payments in its premises while keeping its account at the same institution. Card schemes, fees and account-opening times are not given here and differ by legal entity and market.

Conditions to check Eligible company countries, residency requirements, currencies and published fees are set separately for each legal entity and market in the bank's materials. A business should confirm which terms apply to it, in particular whether foreign-owned companies qualify.

Who it suits The proposition suits Mauritius-registered SMEs that want a rupee account and local card acceptance through one bank. Larger companies above the turnover threshold would need a different corporate arrangement.
