For banks and payment partners.

FastStrait moves business payments between South Africa and the US, UK and EU: rand on one side, dollars, pounds or euros on the other, settled in minutes. We work with licensed partners for banking, payouts, collections and FX liquidity, and we're adding more. This page is for them.

The same path runs in reverse when a South African business is paid from abroad.

Verified, two-way flow.

South African importers paying out, exporters and service firms getting paid. We onboard and verify every customer ourselves, hold the relationship, and report cross-border flows as the regulations require. Partners receive clean, documented volume in both directions of the pair.

KYC and KYB

Company registration, directors and beneficial owners verified before the first payment.

Sanctions screening and monitoring

Customers and counterparties screened against UN, OFAC, UK and EU lists at onboarding and on every payment, with rules on value, velocity and pattern reviewed by a person.

Travel Rule

Originator and beneficiary details carried with each transfer, in line with FATF Recommendation 16.

Safeguarding and privacy

Client funds kept apart from operating funds. Personal data handled under POPIA and GDPR.
