Why convert PayPal to ZAR via SwapXchange?

PayPal stopped supporting direct ZAR withdrawals to most South African banks. SwapXchange fills the gap with a verified peer service: you send your USD via PayPal Friends & Family, we EFT the rand equivalent straight to your bank account. There's no hidden mark-up — the rate and fee you see on the exchange page are exactly what you pay.
