How we build shortlists

We start with platforms that South Africans can realistically use, then filter based on funding and cash-out practicality.

What we score

Fees transparency (including spreads), security controls (2FA, withdrawal locks), verification friction, and support responsiveness.

What we don’t do

We don’t claim a platform is “best for everyone”. We explain tradeoffs so you can choose.

How to verify claims

Confirm fees and terms on official pages, and compare your total cost on the same day using the same order size.
