Step 3:

Depositing South African Rand (ZAR) & Banking Details

To transfer ZAR from your bank account into your AFRIDAX account, follow the below steps

  • Select Wallets from the top menu

  • Select SA Rand - ZAR

  • Select the Deposit button.

  • This will generate a pop-up window containing your unique deposit details, including the bank account information necessary to complete your Rand deposit.

    Ensure You Use the Correct Deposit Reference Number

  • This reference number is unique to your deposit and ensures your funds are automatically credited to your AFRIDAX account.

  • Failure to include this reference number may result in delays or the failure to process your deposit.

Step 4:

Complete Your Deposit

  • Once you have noted the necessary deposit details, proceed with your transfer using your chosen payment method (e.g. EFT/bank transfer).

    • Ensure that you use your Deposit Reference Number in your transfer to avoid any delays or complications.

Step 5:

Confirmation

  • After completing your deposit, monitor your AFRIDAX account for confirmation of receipt.

  • Monitor your email for the "Incoming Deposit Notification" to confirm your account has been credited.

  • Depending on the payment method, it may take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours for the funds to appear in your account. This timeline may change due to Public Holidays and weekends. This is a bank limitation and out of our control.

  • Please contact support if you have not used your unique reference number when making a deposit, providing the proof of payment.
