Do I need a buffer or additional funds in my International Wallet?

We suggest you always maintain a small buffer in your International Wallet to cater for:

  • Price fluctuations for buy orders or foreign exchange transactions
  • Third party fees and taxes
Important information
  • If at any stage your International Wallet is overdrawn, we will automatically seek to recover the outstanding balance by selling assets in your International Shares Account and/or by debiting your linked bank account/s.
  • To prevent your International Wallet from becoming overdrawn, please always monitor your orders and portfolio, and consider leaving a positive cash balance in your International Wallet if appropriate.

We're here to help
