A crucial but time-consuming part of setting up a business is opening the appropriate banking accounts. To help lessen the stress associated with establishing a business in a foreign country, Intergate employs in-house consultants to assist with banking in South Africa.
Banking services
Intergate has set up special arrangements with a number of South Africa’s most prominent banks. This means our clients do not have to set foot in a bank when first doing banking in South Africa. Everything happens in our boardroom, from the first consultation to the opening of the bank accounts.
Our consultants are able to help with:
- Corporate bank accounts.
- Cash account options for larger cash holdings.
- Personalised banking.
- Foreign exchange.
Ask about our Cash Account
Our Cash Account is a dynamic alternative for foreigners to a money market account available from the banks. It is a fully managed and service-driven account with competitive interest rates and the additional benefit of personal banking facilities.
Why is the cash account so great?
- It can be opened from abroad.
- Foreign currency can be transferred into the account whenever it suits the account holder.
- Money can be transferred directly from the Cash Account to third party accounts.
- Debit orders can be set up on the account.
- The money is available 24 hours.
Each cash account holder has a dedicated personal cash account manager. All instructions for payments, debit orders and the like go directly to the manager for processing.
