Immigrating to the UK

[Jan van Riebeeckstad]

Are you jealous, soapy?

No, I can have a braai outdoors.

 

[Priapus]

No, I can have a braai outdoors.

Alright, Rambo.

 

[The Voice]

No, I can have a braai outdoors.

What, you think we braai inside?

 

[Paul Kemp]

No, I can have a braai outdoors.

I can sleep in a lay-by out in the country and wake up in the morning but I’ll give that up in a second so I can braai outdoors again. Braaiing in the lounge is really smelling the place up.

 

[Sinbad]

Well considering the **** the UK is having, I would ask the same question, unless @The Voice is not aware of the uprising.

Lol, my once in awhile post

Uprising?

Lol they're off hiding with their tails between their legs...

 

[Dave]

No, I can have a braai outdoors.

So can we, but I’d prefer to wait until it cools down a bit.

Are you moving your money (savings etc) from Rands to Pounds?

Just be aware... opening up new bank accounts negatively impacts your credit report.

If this is the case then I can recommend using Shyft.

Does it? I don't think so. Not savings accounts anyway.

Credit Karma sent me alerts when I opened up my Starling and Revolut accounts and told me that multiple accounts will negatively affect your credit report. You don't want to open too many accounts too quickly, or close too many accounts.

EDIT: It appears that the alert is basically automated, but it only really impacts if you have multiple lines of credit.

Thank you I will look into it.

Not having my ID card here means I have not committed to wise as yet.

I like the idea that I can sign up now, get swift to send a card to my wife's address and have it all ready when I arrive.

Just note that the Shyft card does not work with Google Wallet or Samsung Pay. It only works with Apple Pay. But the card does support Tap to Pay, and there are virtual cards. Its a great service and the app is not half bad.

DO NOT DO IMMEDIATE PAYMENT FROM CAPITEC TO SHYFT - KNOWN ISSUE!
Standard Bank to Shyft is immediate because Shyft is Standard Bank (and the Shyft account shows up in the SB app, seen it on my Fiancee's app).

It’s pretty simple to open a proper bank account with Lloyds though.
