On that note here is a #FinancialDinner on how to purchase American stocks like Apple, Facebook, Amazon using the @EasyEquities platform. So firstly you need to be registered with EE first, get Ficad and get an active account.
#FinancialDinner then you need to go to the tab that reads EasyEquities USD and at the drop menu then click deposit. Here there will be two options. 1. Swift payments cause you ain't in the US or using a US account. So this is ur option and 2. If you use a US account
#FinancialDinner There you will find the account details of First Trader Nominees with CitiBank. In red there will be a unique REFERENCE number that you must use for deposits. Its unique to your account so don't edit it and don't make an error when depositing.
#FinancialDinner I use the bank with the tree so once you log into your personal account as far as I know u cant use business account, could be wrong. You need to press the forex tab. Then go to global payment and add a beneficiary. Add the bank details and save.
#FinancialDinner once beneficiary is loaded you will need to place an order to make global payment. You will input the USD as the currency in use, then input ur figure in ZAR (remember exchange rate so it cant be R500 or u playing).
#FinancialDinner you will be asked for a reason for payment aka BOP. Choose to use the individual discretionary allowance by SARS by the way. Then the BoP is the foreign investment - shares one 512/01. You will be requested to input tax number so have one, your own assomblief
#FinancialDinner you will then be asked to authorise and bobs your uncle, you will wait for the bank to do its thing. Once approved the money will be topped up in your @EasyEquities USD account and you can buy away. Ok Sharp bangani
