Shyft vs. Online Share Trading cost breakdown

Shyft’s pricing is designed to offer value at every stage. 

Shyft does not charge a platform fee but an annual safe custody fee of 0.12% of your portfolio value, deducted monthly for maintaining and looking after your shares. 

To ensure value for everyone, we’ve also capped the monthly fee to R350.00, so clients with larger portfolios continue to benefit without overspending. The fee is automatically deducted from your ZAR wallet. 

Brokerage: 40 basis points (0.40%), with a minimum of R20.00.
