Now you can transfer funds between your Bidvest Bank Account and World Currency Card via the Bidvest Bank Internet Banking platform!
Bidvest Bank clients who have both a Bidvest Bank Account and World Currency Card can now transfer funds directly between their Bidvest Bank Account and any linked World Currency Card i.e USD, GBP, EURO, AUD, AED, MUR, ILS, CNY, INR, BRL or ARS. This means that clients can re-load their World Currency Cards directly via the Bidvest Bank Internet Banking platform, from the comfort of their home, office or whilst traveling.
The FOREX inter-account transfer functionality allows clients to transfer their remaining currency balance back to their Bidvest Bank Account on return from their international trip. Funds can only be transferred from a Bidvest Bank Account (ZAR) to a linked World Currency Card and back again.
