Need assistance to transfer your hard-earned money abroad – here are some guidelines where WBForex can help:
Opening a transfer account and your first transfer:
- The first step is to open a bank transfer account in SA with Mercantile Bank. The account is opened in your personal name, and currently, at the time of writing, there are no admin fees associated with maintaining the account*
- Once our admin team has opened the account, deposit funds via EFT into your transfer account.
- Funds will typically clear the next working day into your transfer account, and once the funds clear, we will inform you and quote an exchange rate for your consideration. You decide to either proceed or hold until a later time or date. If delayed, a new rate will be quoted when you are ready to proceed with your transfer.
- The process will go ahead once you issue the instruction to proceed, and the exchange is then processed.
- The foreign currency generally is paid the next working day into your nominated bank account abroad.
- We will keep you informed at every step of the process and will even notify you that the funds have been paid into your offshore account.
After your first successful transfer, your transfer account remains open so you can continue to make use of your transfer account as often as you require.
