How to send money to any bank account in South Africa
You can send money via EFT from your SOL app to any bank account in South Africa instantly from your app:
- Go to the Services menu of the app
- Tap “EFT to any bank account in SA”
- Choose the bank, enter the account number, branch number, add a reference/note which will * * * * appear on the beneficiary’s statement
- Turn on the RTC* (real time clearing) option in case you need it.
- Confirm the transaction
The payment will be executed immediately. Note that bank transfers are not instant, and may take up to 2-3 business days to reach the beneficiary bank account.
Real-time clearing allows your transaction to reach the recipient in just one hours if it is sent during the business hours, normally 8 to 16 on weekdays. Note the RTC incurs higher fees than a normal EFT. With the RTC option turned on, the payment will be received within 60 minutes if it is sent before 15:00, and next business day morning if it is sent after 15:00.
