VALR is a great App for investing and trading in Cryptocurrency. They have a range of crypto projects to invest in and their trading fees are very low especially when doing crypto to crypto transfers. The platform is smooth and easy to use and they never under promise. If you are looking to invest in Crypto then VALR is one of the best SA platforms to risk on.

I like the App but would give it 5 star if they resolve the below issue. I live in South Africa, have got work permit, South African bank cards and bank accounts. Currently, I am in another country for the next 3 months, it's my home country. The problem is I tried to do FIAT deposit into my VALR account using one of my South African bank cards but I am getting an error message that I cannot deposit using bank card.

Hi Norman! Thanks for your feedback. As our team informed you over the email you signed up with an identity document from Zimbabwe hence you're receiving this error. However, you should be able to withdraw funds to your SA linked bank account. Hope this helps!
