I think it would be useful to keep a list here and share experiences

If you are into the arb, then it's useful.

Bitstamp - Verification takes really long, up to 2 weeks according to their website

Coinbase UK - Technically, shouldn't be on the list (need a UK passport or drivers - if you fortunate enough to have, then you can add a ZAR credit card. I've got friends using Investec Credit Card)

Kraken - They do, but they are still offline?

Are their others that are reliable that us South African folk can use?
 
Do I need vpn for coinbase UK? wife has as Uk passport.

yeah, and it looks like they are doing verification by phone as well, before you can proceed.

Let us know if you come right and please also what credit card or whatever you link, and whether it works
 
When you say 'Accept ZAR'.
Are you talking about bank transfers, credit card or both?

Can use credit card on CEX.IO
 
Luno works perfectly - please note this is not a Big exchange - you can only purchase BTC and ETH

Seems like even with a verified account there is a daily limit of $3000 (on a payment card)

$20,000 on an account level daily, so if you have 6 cards linked.......

Takes longer for money to reflect than Luno, but it works. I haven't checked the verification stuff and limits though.

These guys have some interesting processes to get transactions to authorised. I've read/heard some horror stories about transactions taking days, up to weeks to reflect in ACT wallets :rolleyes:

edit: though I've seen the good side of the coin as well, 15 min LTC tx from Bittrex
