MPC runs 180 post offices throughout Malawi, and also provides services via 154 postal agencies. Mail delivery times vary from next-day delivery within the cities to 5 days between rural post offices.[1] The post offices may also provide PO boxes and sell stationery.[2]
Financial services provided include electronic, telegraphic and money transfer services within Malawi and internationally, and utility and telephone bill payments.[3]
The MPC is regulated by the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) which regulates all postal services in Malawi.[4] Since MPC's creation MACRA has licensed ten other postal services providers such as DHL and FedEx.[5]
