Offshore investing made even easier with the Shyft app

31 March 2023 Glacier Financial Solutions

Investors can now make an investment using foreign currency – and there’s no need to have an offshore bank account or complete copious paperwork. This is made possible by Shyft, a forex payment app that makes offshore investing so much easier.

Now, investors simply need to transfer their investment in rands from their South African bank account onto Shyft, convert it to the required currency (US dollars, Austrialian dollars, euros or pound sterling) and make the forex payment into the offshore investment.
