Exchange Fees is a variable figure which depends on both which offshore and onshore exchange/facility that we send your FX to and where we trade your crypto arbitrage. This includes offshore beneficiary bank deposit fee, USDC to USDT conversion fee and onshore bank withdrawal fee. It can vary from 0.02% up to 0.20%.

**a R500 SWIFT fee is charged by Capitec (not RMB) for every FX transaction completed.

Clients earn a variable interest rate of 6% to 7% (linked to Repo Rate, subject to change) per annum on your cash balance that remain at Capitec Business Bank. An annual administration fee of 0.9% is in place to facilitate all the FX administration required to complete the
arbitrage cycle.

Fees may include VAT for the RMB transaction BUT not those processed by Capitec Business Bank.

Application for International Transfer (AIT) Fees:
Our CH FX fee excludes cost of acquiring AIT/TCCs.
If you are using Vitalis or T-Three Accounting services for your AIT applications, the cost is R30 per R100,000 approved AIT (excl. vat).

If you are doing your own AIT applications, the cost is R15 (excl. VAT) per R100,000 AIT traded
The fee is only charged upon successful application and at execution of your AIT trades.

No upfront costs and fees are deducted.
Fees are deducted from gross profit once the arbitrage has been executed.

Past returns do not guarantee future performance.
