Move your money to your new home – Cashkows

Sep 9, 2016

Emigration is a complicated and exhausting experience. It’s therefore not surprise that many emigrants are at a loss when it comes to the administration of their financial assets in South Africa.

They disregard their responsibilities to taxation authorities, transfer funds across borders without considering the legal implications and, quite often, miss out on possible tax rebates or revenue opportunities available to them.

Cashkows.com can help you out

Cashkows.com is a company which was established to address the financial needs of South Africans living abroad. Expats living outside South African borders often struggle to move their funds across borders – there are time zone differences, divergent legislation in different jurisdictions and the fact remains that it’s impossible to conduct face-to-face meetings with insurers and tax authorities if you aren’t in South Africa.

Though we initially simply catered for the transfer of retirement annuities offshore, our company has since augmented our offering to provide a full scope of financial migration services to South Africans living abroad.

Our services include:

  • financial planning in your new home
  • surrendering retirement annuities, preservation funds and similar pension products
  • surrendering other insurance products with an investment value
  • full financial emigration solution and transfer of retirement annuity funds offshore before age 55
  • acquiring and submitting claims or other administrative documents to insurers, SARS, SARB and banking institutions
  • tax refunds and exemptions relative to the surrender of certain policies
  • tracing pensions held with previous employers and fund administrators
  • cancellation of cessions
  • amending debit order payments for retained policies
  • changing legal ownership of unit trust investments
  • nominating, changing or contacting beneficiaries on policies
  • death claims and testament services

A track record that speaks for itself

Cashkows.com has assisted more than 13 000 South Africans in 80 countries with various aspects of their financial migration. We boast a 100% success rate and can render all our services remotely – which means we can facilitate your financial administration irrespective of where you are in the world.

If you need assistance or advice for your cross-border finances, our team of financial specialists will ensure that you follow the correct route and receive optimal payouts for your respective needs.
