Our exchange rates

We purchase foreign currency from our banking partners, an avenue not available to consumers, and apply a margin before selling that currency to you.

Because of the volume of currency we purchase we’re able to secure preferential exchange rates and pass those savings on to our customers.

 

The live exchange rate we quote is the price you pay for your transfer. We have no hidden costs, commissions or fees for personal transfers above R100 000. Please note, given the volatility of the foreign exchange market, we’re only able to hold the exchange rate quoted for a short period of time.

*Transfers under R100K will incur a small fee of R375

 

What else do you need to know?

Exchange control limits the amount that can be transferred offshore by a private individual on their foreign investment allowance to R10 million, plus a R1 million Discretionary Allowance per calendar year.

There is no maximum amount that we can transfer (subject to exchange control limitations). Please get in touch for more information.
