APN (Advanced Payment Notification)
Our Advance Payment Notification (APN) service helps businesses comply with the South African Reserve Bank’s requirements for qualifying international payments. We assist with the preparation and submission of the necessary documentation, ensuring your APN application is completed accurately and efficiently, helping to prevent unnecessary delays when making advance payments to overseas suppliers.
An Advance Payment Notification (APN) is a regulatory requirement for certain advance payments made from South Africa to overseas suppliers before goods are imported. It allows the South African Reserve Bank and authorised dealers (banks) to monitor these transactions and ensure compliance with South African exchange control regulations. If your business needs to pay an international supplier in advance (above R50 000.00), an APN may be required before the payment can be processed. Our team will guide you through the process and handle the necessary documentation to ensure your application is submitted accurately and efficiently.
