A specialist calls you

You verify and pick an amount
Only then does money move, and only the amount you choose.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of some or all of the capital you invest. The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you originally put in. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.
What you need
- An email address you actually check.
- A phone number so a specialist can reach you.
- An identity document, for the verification step later.
R8500 PYE1 2026 Grant Program explained in plain language: after you send the form
The verification call
A specialist calls to confirm what you submitted, answer questions and agree on a sensible starting amount for you. It is a conversation, not a script - an account opened on unrealistic expectations helps nobody.
How long it takes
Usually one call of ten to fifteen minutes. If you would rather be called at a specific time, mention it in the form and that time is respected.
Identity checks explained
Before your first deposit you will be asked for a photo ID and a recent document showing your address. This is the same requirement any regulated financial service applies, and it exists so a withdrawal can only ever return to you.
What is accepted
A passport or national ID card, plus a utility bill or bank statement issued within the last three months. A clear photo taken on a phone works fine.
