Crypto Made Simple
Getting Started
With Crypto Wallets
No trading. No complexity. Just what you need to deposit, transact, and get paid.

What We Use Crypto For
Before you set up anything, let's be clear about one thing:
ImportantWe do NOT trade crypto. We use it purely as a payment method β to deposit funds and to receive payouts. Think of it like a digital transfer tool, not an investment.
Here's the simple flow:
1
Deposit South African Rands (ZAR) into a crypto wallet
2
Convert ZAR to USDT (a stable cryptocurrency β its value doesn't change)
3
Use that USDT to pay into the programme
4
When you earn, your payout comes back as USDT
5
Convert back to ZAR and withdraw to your bank account
That's the whole process. You are not speculating or trading β you are simply using crypto as a bridge for transactions.

Deposit & Withdraw Wallets
These wallets allow you to deposit South African Rands, buy USDT, and withdraw back to your bank account. I personally use VALR and Binance. For Capitec users, Luno works best.
VALRChantell's #1 Pick
VALR is South African-based, regulated, and super easy to use. Fast EFT deposits, straightforward to buy USDT, and low fees. This is my first choice and where I'd recommend most people start.

BinanceChantell's #2 Pick
Binance is the world's largest crypto exchange. It has a P2P (peer-to-peer) feature which makes buying USDT with ZAR very convenient. Once you're comfortable with the basics, Binance gives you great flexibility.

LunoBest for Capitec Users
I don't personally use Luno, but I recommend it specifically for people who bank with Capitec. The Capitec Pay integration is smooth and makes deposits quick and nearly friction-free β great for beginners.

π‘ Not Sure Which to Choose?Banking with Capitec? Start with Luno. All other banks? Start with VALR β it's the easiest and fastest for South Africans.

SafePal β Crypto to Crypto Wallet
Once you have USDT, you need to send it to the programme. SafePal is a crypto-only wallet β it does NOT connect to your bank account at all. It is purely used for moving crypto between wallets.
The reason I recommend SafePal is straightforward β the transaction fees are extremely low compared to most other wallets. When you're transacting regularly, those savings add up fast.
SafePalUltra-Low Fees
App-based wallet β iOS & Android
Very low network fees (use TRC20 network for lowest fees)
Supports USDT on multiple networks
Easy to navigate for beginners

β οΈ Always Double-Check Before SendingCrypto transactions cannot be reversed. Always verify the wallet address before you send anything. Copy and paste β never type addresses manually.
π
Witget β Spend Crypto In-Store
