For South Africa’s investors, the ability to access global markets has never been more essential. Yet for all its strategic importance, offshore investing has often been fragmented, costly, and time-consuming.
As priorities shift and digitally empowered clients expect more streamlined experiences, private banks are under increasing pressure to offer more than conventional portfolio management. Today’s investor wants a platform that delivers control, efficiency, and global reach without compromising on expert support.
In response, Nedbank has launched its enhanced international stockbroking platform – a fully integrated solution that allows clients to manage both local and international portfolios through a single, intuitive interface.
The launch reflects the growing demand among experienced investors for tools that combine convenience, transparency, and seamless execution, whether they’re acting on real-time local opportunities or diversifying across borders.
“Global diversification is no longer a distant ambition; it’s an accessible reality,” says Grant Meintjes, executive of trading at Nedbank.
Speaking at the platform’s official launch event, he pointed out that by combining education, seamless access, cost-efficiency, and expert advice, Nedbank is not just facilitating investment, but empowering its clients to take ownership of their financial future.
Developed in partnership with international trading powerhouse Saxo Bank, the platform brings world-class capabilities to Nedbank’s private and wealth clients, packaged in a way that feels personal and easy to use. While the technology was developed by external experts, the functionality is anything but off-the-shelf.
Investors can access real-time data, execute direct transactions, and analyse market opportunities, all from one place.
Key features of the platform include:
- No minimum investment requirements, opening the door for more clients starting their offshore journeys;
- Dual-market access, enabling users to trade locally and offshore without switching platforms;
- Transparent fee structures offering competitive pricing with no hidden costs;
- Fast, 48-hour onboarding, making it quick and painless to start investing;
- Access to local stockbrokers who offer expert guidance alongside digital tools; and
- A clean, user-friendly interface with intuitive navigation, real-time market data, and company logos for easier recognition.
To support the platform’s rollout, Nedbank has also invested in a robust educational campaign to demystify offshore investing. This includes content that explains how global markets work, highlights the cost benefits of investing offshore, and shows how the platform makes it all easier.
But what truly sets the international stockbroking platform apart is its ability to handle both local and international trades through a unified system, eliminating the need for multiple accounts or complicated workarounds.
According to Meintjes, by mid-2026 the offering will expand further to include offshore mutual funds and bonds, products that are not commonly available on other stockbroking platforms.
“This platform is more than just a digital upgrade; it forms part of a broader strategy to shift wealth management from a closed-door experience to an empowered, client-led journey,” Meintjes emphasises.
“The future of wealth management belongs to those with the vision to embrace and drive it, and with this new platform, Nedbank is handing the keys over to its clients.”
