Never had issue with international payment or paying netflix using shyft.
Well, mine doesn't work. I ended up buying Netlfix gift cards on eGifts24 since I started using Shyft. I'll give it a bash again to see if I might have been doing something wrong.

By the way, I got a push notification from the app that new users get R100 free for signing up with which they can do a foreign exchange.

So just a heads-up for those not using Shyft yet. Free money and it's not only for Standard Bank customers. :thumbsup:

Use a $ card. I created a virtual $ card. Using without any issue.

Only challenge was paying linksys for a us only deal but suspect issue was my us address being a courier company address.

I used one of the physical ones (I have four, one for each of my kids and one for the wife).
I've never tried using a physical card to pay for Netflix. I only use a virtual card for those functions and when overseas I'll use the physical card.

OK, let me update my details on Netflix to use the VCC. It should debit my card tomorrow as that's the due date.

Go to your TDA account to get the ACH deposit details.

Shyft payments to TDA go via ACH.

Get those details and add them as a beneficiary in Shyft. I believe the reference will be your TDA account number.

Pay that beneficiary whatever you want to transfer to TDA. Go via Payments > International Transfer, then select the TDA beneficiary.

Transfers can reflect same day if done early enough, or the next day latest (my experience at least).

thanks for trying to help. I can’t get the ACH detail from my account in TD Ameritrade as it wants me to link my account first. Then the only option to link are US bank accounts.

Navigate via My Account > Deposits & Transfers > Deposits

First screen, first section - "Transfer money from your bank (ACH)"
- click on the "Details" link in green (has a + next to it).

It will expand to give you the transfer details for ACH on the top right.

ACH is both a push/pull facility. You're pushing funds via ACH, so they don't need your bank details.

Not all brokers allow you to push funds to them via ACH, but thankfully TDA does.

aaaah. I was using the app and it doesn’t seem to have that. I logged in on the desk top version and found it. Thanks so much!
