What other information should I know?

We can’t send South African rand (ZAR) to Namibia or Swaziland/Eswatini. Payments will be sent through the Swift network , or one of our partners, Exchange4Free or Sikhona. Due to South African regulations, when receiving money from abroad, both personal and business recipients need to fill out a form called a mandate. This is used to send a report to the South African Reserve Bank. Because of this, one of our South African partners, Exchange4Free* or Sikhona Money Transfers**, will email or send an SMS to your recipient with a link to this form. If the information isn’t provided on time, the bank may reject the payment. * For Exchange4Free, if your recipient fills in the form before 12:00 PM South Africa time (SAST), your transfer will arrive next day at the latest. ** We are still in the beta phase with Sikhona Money Transfers. If your payment is sent via Sikhona, your transfer will arrive to your recipient approximately 30 minutes after they’ve filled out the form.
