Designed for a life in motion

When your work spans time zones and continents, your bank needs to keep up.

For Buhle Phiwe Hlatshwayo, a career diplomat and Investec Private Banking client, working across time zones is part of daily life. From New York to Johannesburg and beyond, her schedule shifts constantly. What does not change is the need for seamless access to her finances.

When her day in New York ends, the South African working day is already in full swing. Her Private Banker, Investec Online and the Investec App are aligned to her reality, not just her geography.

Managing money across multiple jurisdictions comes with complexity. Currency fluctuations, international payments, and access to funds can quickly become challenges. Investec simplifies this through a combination of digital capability and always-on human support.

With Investec Online and the App, Buhle has a single, secure view of her local and foreign currency accounts. She can move money, track transactions, and manage her finances in real time, wherever she is. Her dedicated Private Banker and a 24/7 global support team ensure she always has access to help, including emergency card replacement if needed.

Travel is also constant. And with it, the unexpected trips, the delays, and the reroutes. Through Investec, Buhle accesses a suite of travel and lifestyle benefits designed for people on the move.

Investec Travel offers a fully integrated service for booking flights, accommodation, and tailored itineraries, often at preferential rates. It is designed to remove friction from both business and personal travel.

The InTransit app unlocks a more seamless airport experience, with access to local and international lounges, restaurant vouchers and dining offers, spa treatments, and fast-track security at selected airports.

Staying connected across borders is equally important. With eSIM capability available through the app, she can access local data in over 190 countries, avoiding roaming costs and staying connected from touchdown.

Her Investec Visa card adds another layer of support. When booking international travel with the card, she benefits from complimentary travel insurance, including cover for medical emergencies and personal accidents. And if plans go wrong, 24/7 global assistance ensures issues like lost cards are resolved quickly, no matter where she is.

For Buhle, banking is not a separate task. It is part of how she navigates the world. With Investec, her finances move as seamlessly as she does.
