South Africa's money landscape, in brief
Currency
Transfers into South Africa land in South African rand (ZAR), so the exchange rate you lock in and the fees quoted up front are what decide how much actually arrives.
How transfers settle
PayShap provides instant low-value interbank payments using account details or a cellphone ShapID proxy, operated by BankservAfrica under SARB oversight; standard interbank transfers settle in batch cycles. That matters for a transfer sent from Pretoria: a provider that delivers onto the local rail typically clears faster than a routed correspondent-bank wire.
Recipient details
South African transfers use a 6-digit branch code (most banks publish a universal branch code) plus the account number; account formats vary by bank. Getting these recipient details exactly right is the difference between a same-day delivery and a bounced-back transfer.
Regulation
Payments in South Africa are overseen by the South African Reserve Bank — Prudential Authority. Banks are supervised by the SARB's Prudential Authority; payment providers must be registered under the National Payment System Act. Check registration and FICA compliance before use.
