Shyft is the award winning retail forex, investments and payments app that gives you more for less, 24/7. Buy, store, send & invest the cheapest forex with Shyft – no matter where you bank! Shyft will save you time and money with fast transactions, flat rates and no commission fees.

Shop
Shop locally and use your ZAR card to make purchases by swiping, or tap and go securely. You can also shop for the latest brands from around the globe using a Shyft virtual forex card. You can also use your virtual card for managing international subscriptions, booking flights or paying for hotels in foreign currency.

Travel
Order Multi-currency Shyft Mastercard debit cards to use while travelling overseas and save up to 5% on card fees. Apart from the four currencies currently available on Shyft, you can use your physical Shyft forex card to withdraw local currency from any Mastercard supported ATM in the country you’re visiting (conversion fees may apply). Buy a souvenir or two with your physical card, and top up your cards anytime, anywhere, right from the app. Travelling to the Far East? We also offer a Union Pay International Card accepted throughout China, order one via the app today.

Invest
Shyft Shares allows you to invest in the top U.S. stocks and ETFs directly from your phone, so now you can also own a share in the world’s best companies. See the most popular shares and how they have been tracking over the last 30 days and create a watchlist to keep your eye on. All you’ll need to start trading is your tax number.

Need to take money offshore?
The Shyft Global Wallet provides you with a safe and secure way to purchase and hold foreign currencies at the cheapest rates. You can also easily and conveniently send forex to an offshore bank account by creating an offshore beneficiary and transferring funds as and when required. Payments to the US, UK and Europe can take less than a day to settle.

Get your money moving
So, you’ve got the app and your cards, you’ve bought forex, but what else does the Shyft app offer you? This should give you an idea: You can send money to Shyft users, for free, or pay international beneficiaries, charged at a flat rate.

It is a very nice app and make things very easy to travel with low costs. Only one thing missing, cannot load the card on Samsung Wallet or Garmin Pay. That will be the ultimate.

Great concept but the app constantly crashes and will not load balances and instead show zero, if it loads at all. Then there is the problem of both virtual and physical Rand cards declining valid local transactions even if funds exceed the purchase amounts.
