I am disgusted with their service

I am disgusted with their service. I felt like I was passed on from one person to another. No one explained what is happening next. I am told the next department will get in touch with me but no idea who it will be or what they will be doing. I don't have access to SARS web portal and then months later I get a notification that I owe money and have to pay up or face penalties. My feeling it is just a business and you are just being moved on to the next person. I am very disappointed and won't recommend them at all. They charge so much money just to do things but their service is not up to standard.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been to feel passed from one person to another without clear communication about what would happen next, particularly when dealing with important SARS matters. Crystal Woodman, our tax team leader, will be in contact with you directly to discuss your concerns and assist you further.

Outstanding Company to Deal With

What a pleasure to deal with such a professional Company. Personally want to thank Francois who handled my initial enquiry and then Dillon, Jonene and Jason who assisted with components of the actual service. Everyone was an absolute pleasure to deal with and their systems and security at every step of the way was seamless and gave great peace of mind. There can't be many Companies that could compete at their level of service and or that deliver exactly what they say they can and will do. Great work Finglobal.

I highly recommend FinGlobal for their dedication.

I highly recommend FinGlobal for their outstanding service and dedication. Their team went above and beyond to help me successfully finalise my tax matters in South Africa. They were professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process, making what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. Thank you to the FinGlobal team for doing an amazing job and providing such excellent assistance

Highly recommended

What a great and professional experience for the international transfer of my South African Retirement Annuity. The staff and experts at FinGlobal are very accessible and helpful. I had calls with them when I had concerns or questions and they resolved them all and set my mind at ease. Everything went smoothly and without a hitch, from the interaction with the insurance companies, handling the tax compliance, setting up a Bidvest bank account and the international transfer of the funds. The Bidvest fee and FX rate was very competitive (contrary to one of the other reviews, there were no hidden fees and the FX rate was equivalent to Wise). Very happy with the whole experience.

Beware of the FX rip-off by FinGlobal…

Beware of the FX rip-off by FinGlobal at the end of the
process. FinGlobal may tell you that you will control the
FX transfer from Bidvest Bank to your own bank; but
the reality is that FinGlobal nearly double their fees
through an uncompetitive FX margin for the transfer
which is mandatory. Very scammy behaviour.

A Truly Outstanding Experience with Finglobal!

I can't speak highly enough about my experience with Finglobal. From the moment I reached out to them, I felt like I was in great hands. The entire process was smooth, fast, and completely hassle-free.

What really stood out to me was how quickly they handled my transaction. I was amazed at how fast the money arrived – it really took a load off my shoulders. I also appreciated that there were no upfront payments, which made everything so much easier and stress-free. It felt like they really cared about making the whole process as simple as possible.

Knowing that they are a licensed financial services provider and fully regulated gave me the confidence to trust them completely. They also took every measure to protect my personal and financial details, which made me feel truly secure.

One of the things that really impressed me was the team at Finglobal. Their expertise shines through in everything they do. From the financial planners to the tax specialists, each person I interacted with was knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely eager to make sure I had everything I needed. They went above and beyond, offering sound advice and ensuring everything was in order, which made the whole process so much easier.

Convenience is also a big win for me. I was able to handle everything remotely without ever having to leave my home. They took care of all the paperwork, making sure everything was ready for me to sign – it couldn’t have been simpler.

Lastly, their competitive exchange rates meant that I got fantastic value for my money. The financial advice they provided was spot on, and I’m so grateful for their guidance.

In short, they earned my trust, and I will definitely be using their services again in the future. The warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail they offer are unmatched. If you’re looking for reliable and efficient cross-border financial services, I can’t recommend them enough.

I highly recommend FinGlobal

I used the services of FinGlobal to get my RA out of South Africa to the UK where I now live, it was a tedious process dealing with SARS and HMRC, however FinGlobal was exceptional, they were professional and fast. They make it as simple and easy as humanly possible. I would recommend FinGlobal any day.

FinGlobal is one fabulous company

FinGlobal is one fabulous company. I was recommended to them by a friend and I’m so glad I took the advice. My father’s estate was unfortunately being handled by Standard Bank, and all the bad reviews one reads about that bank are true. Without the help of the people at FinGlobal, I am convinced that I would have had zero chance of getting my money out of the bank and out of South Africa. Everyone I dealt with at FinGlobal was supportive, professional and efficient. Thank you all

Brilliant

Brilliant, excellent assistance to non resident investors in South Africa for bank accounts and sending funds back home. Can’t fault them. Julian and Cecilia are also very helpful and prompt.

Excellent Support and Highly Recommended

Very happy with their friendly and professional service.
After trying myself for a couple of years to sort out my old policies in SA, after having emigrated more than 20 years ago, I finally decided to involve FinGlobal, which was one of my best decisions ever, after deciding to emigrate of course for a better future. The top team in FinGlobal handled the various bumps on the road without any hassles, as we navigated skilfully the intricacies of the various steps to finally get my policies paid out in Australia. My wife was initially a little sceptic, but also was impressed as the FinGlobal team worked diligently through each step. I was highly impressed with their systems and transparent processes, which added lots of value and confidence to the process. The proof is in the pudding, and after having my funds finally safely in my overseas bank account, I can only look back and say with absolutely honesty, that without the team in FinGlobal, I would still be stuck.
A BIG Thank YOU to all of the team in Hermanus!

Very Dissapointing Service

Over the last year I had to repeatedly resend financial information for financial emigration purposes and whilst the lockdown certainly did not help and I was also slow at times in submitting financial information I found the drive and guidance from Finglobal inadequate to complete the exercise. They have now suddenly advised me that they have to withdraw my application due to incomplete information. This has left me high and dry. I would not recommend Finglobal to anyone, especially if you have a fairly complex financial situation to contend with.

I contacted FinGlobal on the recommendation of a work colleague. My initial interaction with the company has been very good.
