Our Service, Your Advantage: No Additional Costs

When people hear the term “Broker,” they often assume there are added expenses involved. However, that’s not the case with FX Paymaster. We’ve partnered with Capitec Bank, and they compensate us directly for the services we provide.

Our comprehensive, end-to-end service covers everything from helping clients open accounts and booking currency deals to preparing and reviewing payments, ensuring all necessary documents are accurate and in order. These tasks are usually time-consuming, but we take care of them on behalf of both you and the bank.

The bank recognises the volume of business we bring and the value our services add. We have a pre-negotiated margin which we split with them on all transactions we do. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of our expert services without any additional costs to you.

How much does it cost to send money abroad?

When you send money abroad through banks, they often tack on an extra 2-3% to the exchange rate, and their transfer fees can range from R600 to R1,200. Here’s where we’re different: we charge a simple, fixed fee of only 0.5%. Plus, there’s a fixed transfer fee of R250 or R500, depending on whether you prefer to split the charges or cover them upfront. This way, you save on unnecessary costs and get a fair deal on your international transfers.
