    I'm looking at getting a new watch and was interested in the updated Garmin discount, but it doesn't seem to be active yet? Has there been anything communicated about when the new Garmin benefit is coming into effect?

    Standard Bank Shyft vs Discovery Bank Forex

    Good point about the different currencies, I have only focused on the USD rate so I didn't realise that the others weren't great. I did a comparison on the rate for USD and the rates at Shyft were always better than on Discovery Bank. However, the rates weren't good enough to offset the 1.5% on...

    Be Careful of Price Changes on FNB Credit Card Effective 1 July 2022

    Hi everyone I was checking my FNB credit card statement today and found some very strange fees going through so I followed up using the chat on the app. From 1 July 2022 FNB has very sneakily made it more expensive to use your credit card for any international payments. Regardless of whether...

    Easy Equities - why are USD dividends reported as local dividends?

    That's interesting, I will ask my friend what appears on their return for 2022. In 2021 and 2020 it was a manual process and wasn't prepopulated so they might have changed it this year.

    Easy Equities - why are USD dividends reported as local dividends?

    Hi, I have seen the same thing on a friend's certificate so seems to be a widespread issue. I am not sure if it is due to the way the shares are held or if it is an oversight on their side. For example if you buy 1 share of Amazon through Easy Equities I am not 100% sure if you own the...

    Friend Unable to Access their Tymebank Account

    Hi WAslayer No, they are physically outside the country for work for a few weeks and want to make some online payments from their account. I understand blocking access from certain countries for certain websites, but you can't block peoples access to their own bank account.

    Thank you very much for the help I managed to get it to work now. I requested a public IP address from Vodacom and they updated that.
