Shyft’s new Trader feature is for you. 

Introducing Shyft’s advanced, multi‑asset, multi‑currency trading platform – giving you the edge to execute with expertise, precision and speed.

“It’s awesome ... way more than expected, with broad functionality,” says renowned local market commentator, educator, trader and investor Simon Brown. Brown has seen many trading platforms since developing a keen interest in trading in the mid-1990s.  

“Setting it up was a breeze,” he adds. “It loads quickly and isn't a memory hog. It also has different products for different types of traders, which is really great.”

That’s because Trader was designed for experienced investors and active traders like Brown.  

Using Shyft’s instant top-up feature, he can top up his wallet, buy forex at the cheapest rates on the market, and transfer those funds to his Trader account to trade thousands of global instruments across multiple asset classes and currencies in seconds.  

And so can you.  

Boasting 26 stock exchanges, 31 commodity exchanges, more than 14 500 global shares and ETFs, CFDs, mutual funds and more, Trader allows you to use advanced stop orders, real-time alerts and clear margin insights for risk management.  

Powered by professional trading tools, Trader also offers powerful charting, advanced technical and fundamental analysis, sophisticated order types, and real‑time portfolio analytics. 

Shyft's Investor feature gives users access to global markets and the cheapest forex rates – designed to democratise global travel and investing. But the active market participant needs professional-grade speed and control to act fast and decisively in dynamic market conditions.  

That's why Shyft introduced Trader – offering the same seamless Shyft experience and forex rates, but with deeper functionality.

This means Trader users can move quickly and effortlessly between currency conversions, funding, trading, and withdrawals – an end‑to‑end experience that reduces friction between insight and execution, making it easier for active traders to respond to market opportunities.

It's all part of the same award-winning app you’ve been using for global travel and shopping, cheapest forex, instant funding capability, and responsive customer support.
