I assume you are referring to this https://getshyft.co.za/Get a Shyft account.
You can transfer Rs to it and wait to see if rate goes in your favour.
If not, transfer it back into your SA bank account. Simple.
You can exchange/hold any of $,£, Aus$ or Euro currencies currently and use physical/virtual cards to make online purchases/ immediate bank payments internationally(£10 or equivalent flat fee)
No tax implications. You already paid tax I assume on your money/capital.I assume you are referring to this https://getshyft.co.za/
Any idea what the tax implications are? Or is this one of those I should talk to my financial adviser about?
I somehow think that there was a brief discussion about this in my last consultation. Just not 100% sure that this was the thing.

See my post above.
I transfer funds whenever rate strengthens considerably, that way I bank at least along the way, instead of missing a good rate due to inaction and then it sky rockets again which it always has/will do over the medium long term.
Transaction rejected. My transfer limit for the year has been reached. Urgh.

Discretionary allowance is R1m. The R10m is a schlep to get cleared, but something I'm probably looking at doing now.R10m already?
Please translate for us noobs
, what does this mean?Downgraded.. so a drop in exchange and then recovery.
I wonder how far we'll drop though. Hopefully can stay under R16/$.
Surely it was priced in on Friday...
Downgrades within the same grade is usually less traumatic. The last one was the major one as it pushed SA outside indexes which forced investors to dump SA Inc.Seems like it. Generally when they say "it's priced in" it still wobbles big time on negative news. But it's also possible the main driving force at the moment is international sentiment with hopes on a COVID vaccine opening up economies overriding the state of things locally. Glad I'm not a currency trader - it's so unpredictable![]()
