The platform
Every rail that moves business money — routed, settled and reconciled daily. Phase 1 in build.
The rails
Named rails, not abstractions. Each one is there because a business needed it.
PayShap
South Africa's instant rail for lower-value, real-time payments.
RTC
Real-Time Clearing for high-value domestic transfers that cannot wait for batch windows.
EFT
Batch transfers for scheduled, high-volume flows such as payroll and supplier runs.
DebiCheck
Authenticated debit orders with bank-verified mandates for collections.
TCIB
Cross-border SADC payments — 6 corridors: Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Eswatini, Lesotho, Botswana.
SWIFT
Global correspondent payments for the corridors beyond the region.
8 rails at exit — Phase 1 target.
Ten currencies
Multi-currency transfers priced and executed with precision — 6 SADC corridors via TCIB, the rest of the world via SWIFT.
10 currencies
6 SADC corridors via TCIB, plus SWIFT
The lifecycle
Every transfer follows the same five stages, whatever the rail. State is visible at each one.
- Instructed Amount, currency, destination and purpose captured up front — and validated against the account's authorisation rules.
- Screened & quoted Active stage Sanctions and PEP screening on every instruction; FX quoted and locked when currencies differ.
- Routed Rail selected by size, urgency, destination and rail health.
- Settled Funds move inside the rail's defined window.
- Reconciled The movement lands in the single daily feed.
