How it Works

Settlement of Foreign Accounts/Invoices using Spot Transactions

Step 1: Order the payment through our WFX online system, by selecting the beneficiary. If you have purchased forward cover through our system, you can apply that to the payment.
Step 2: Transfer the required funds in Rand, to your bank account.
Step 3: e-mail us the invoice and a copy of the bank payment.
Within 2 working days the funds will be transferred and you will receive a copy of the SWIFT transaction.
You can keep track of the process through our online system

Purchasing of Forward Cover

A Tour Operator has just sold an overseas tour package, but the traveller only departs in a month. They have to pay their foreign supplier within two and three months after they have sold the tour. During the four month period the Rand can decline and they could lose their profit margin. We provide the following easy solution:

Step 1: After they have sold the tour (even on the same day), purchase forward cover through our online system, for the date they expect they have to pay their foreign supplier. They also have to send us proof of their payment obligation.
Step 2: Transfer fund to the value of only 10% of their obligation to their foreign supplier.
Step 3: The balance of their obligation is due when they use the forward cover contract to pay their beneficiary.
