This was our 1st real payment with FX Paymaster and it saved us 21k vs bank – that’s decent money by anybody’s standard. Hugely impressed ! We see these things in buckets, a saving like this pays a salary, or the printers or a new welding machine etc. that we did not have before. You line up a couple of these buckets in a year and before you notice it you’ve saved R5m/R10m a year (<< True story).

When banks transfer money, they take the mid-market rate, and apply a margin of 2 – 3% on top of the rate (sometimes more). Banks pretty much never disclose their margins to customers, so you have no idea how much they’re over charging you by. By hiding their charges in the exchange rate offered, most providers make huge profits at your expense, and you’re none the wiser.
Unlike banks we’ve adopted fixed pricing business payments and always disclose our margin and transfer fees to customers. Our business customers enjoy a fixed spread of 0.5% and only pay R 250 to transfer funds abroad.
Now that you understand how things work, you know what to look for.

When you open a bank account, you usually need to provide documents to verify details about yourself and your business. FX Paymaster is no different. Your Live Payment Account is linked to a physical settlement account for your business. Here’s what we need to verify your business & activate your Live account:
Tell us about your business – You’ll need to share details like your business registration, where you’re located, the industry you’re in, any online presence, and the name, date of birth, and country of residence for all legal business owners and directors.
Tell us about the Directors & Shareholders of the company – As the admin of this account, we need your personal details and your role in the business. If you’re not the director or owner of the company, you may need to include additional information.
ID Copies for all Directors and Shareholders (over 10% shareholding)
Proof of address (not older than 3 months) for 1 Director and all shareholders (over 10% shareholding)
A Selfie – for the 1 Director that has given us Proof of Address
Proof of address for the company
Verification is how we keep your business’s money safe and comply with financial regulations. We do everything we can to make it quick, painless, and completely online.
Once you’ve completed your profile and uploaded your FICA, our team will review your application. We then run the information through online verification software and submit everything to the bank for processing.
It usually takes around 24hrs to open your business account, but it may take a bit longer if we’re experiencing high demand.
