Shares / Help needed with overseas bank account so I can invest there
« on: July 08, 2017, 03:55:18 pm »
I have a bank account with a UK bank. They have a banking app that I have installed on my phone and it used to work fine, but now requires re-authentication. To authenticate I have to give them a UK cell number to send the authentication code to via SMS. My UK sim card stopped working a while ago due to inactivity.
If I can get a UK sim that works in SA I should be able to get the cell phone banking app working again. Anybody know where I can get a UK sim in SA? If not, does anybody know how I can open another overseas bank account without physically travelling overseas?
I know Investec offers a UK account for £10 a month, but only for private banking customers, which I am not.
Alternatively does anybody know of an overseas investment broker that would accept deposits directly from a South African bank account?
