Comments on Shyft – Global Money App for Android

★★★★★ René Loots · Dec 15, 2025
So easy and very convenient. I'd never worked with foreigner exchange before and had no problems mastering this. I've left a debit card with my kids in Australia and now have a convenient way of getting money to them. Exchanging and handling of money using Shyft is a breeze!
★★★★★ Katleho Lebone · Aug 6, 2026
Best experience and login details needs to be upgraded for better login experience.
★★★★★ Inus Labuschagne · Dec 10, 2025
This is so effective and easy to use. Thank you to the Shyft team for being so proficient.
★★★★★ Mareme Mohlaba · Dec 7, 2025
It's very convenient with the updates from local to international market.
★☆☆☆☆ Calvin Nyoni · May 29, 2026
Absolute joke. Broken app and zero support. ​Tried an international transfer to the UK using exact details that work fine on other retail banks. Their app has a validation bug that blocks the transaction with an "invalid format" error. Their support completely ghosted me on WhatsApp when I sent proof. After my funds sat doing nothing for days, I withdrew them, and they charged me a R35 fee to claw back my own money! Avoid this platform, it's an absolute joke.
★☆☆☆☆ Rudi du Preez · Sep 18, 2026
Very poorly designed. Looks like a 3-year-old created it. I had multiple portfolios on OST & Web trader. They were highly functional, with many useful functions. Shyft is like being "upgraded" from driving a Ferrari to a broken, old Datsun bakkie. I complained so many times to Std. Bank. They can't care less. I have been a customer for over 30 years, and am seriously considering closing all my Std. Bank accounts due to the forced Shyft move. It is unusable for any serious trader. STAY FAR, FAR AWAY
★☆☆☆☆ Juste Moi · Sep 8, 2026
Like many Standard Bank customers, I have been forced to go onto this app. I cannot see the shares I own, what their prices are, what the market movements are, which dividends are due, where to buy shares or how to add money to my account. As for technical support, what is that? If you are lucky, you get links to badly designed training manuals and badly designed videos, none of which actually tell you why you cannot perform the most basic tasks. Shyft punishes people trying to save.
