Standard Bank's Shyft digital wallet offers unique share trading experience

Co-founder and head of Shyft at Standard Bank, Arno von Helden, joined Alec Hogg to discuss the various benefits of the bank's digital wallet offering. The app, which enables you to buy or exchange forex, shop online securely, and make payments across the globe, now also includes a share trading feature. According to Von Helden, what makes Shyft unique is that it lists stocks that South Africans are really interested in, and not necessarily the top stocks. "We haven't had too many complaints about our offering so far. I think we've really looked at covering the vast majority of where we see customers going," he says. "We are trying to create an offering that suits those customers' needs and gives people options and different things. We've got a very flexible system, we've got a very scalable system, and we really want to give customers what they want in terms of instrument selection." Learn more about your ad choices.
