Business and Dealings

Q: Forex trading currency through mobile app from standard bank. Money is transferred to shyft in rands, which can be used to purchase at any time through a physical card or virtual card. Rands can also be traded for four specific currencies. These currencies, if in possession can also be used for purchasing through a virtual card. From what I read, no interest is involved and no hidden costs. Only fees for trading between currencies and amount is agreed before confirming transaction. This is called shyft from standard bank.
