Frequently Asked Questions
The Afrinvest gift card is an investment product that allows you to buy an investment for a family member, friend, colleague or loved one on a special occasion. It allows you to either make a deposit for an investment or choose an existing investment product from Afrinvest Asset Management to be allocated solely to the recipient.
Afrinvest gift cards are completely free. There are no additional or hidden charges save the cost of the bank transaction.
You do not have to open an account with Afrinvest to give a gift card. Simply click the ‘Give a gift’ button and you’re good to go.
However, to activate a gift card, you must open an account with Afrinvest. This is to ensure we capture the essential KYC documents for allotting your investment.
If the recipient of the gift card is under 18 years old, kindly check the appropriate box when you’re buying the gift card. You will then be prompted to assign a parent or guardian to activate or manage the investment for the minor until they become of age.
What if the recipient doesn't like the investment instrument?
There are 3 options available to you when buying a gift card. You may either:
i. invest an amount, in which case the recipient chooses their own product;
ii. invest in a product but leave it open to the recipient’s confirmation; or
iii. invest in a product and lock it in.
If you opted for option 3, the recipient will only be allowed to select another investment product after 3 months. At that point, the recipient will send an e-mail to aaml@afrinvest.com and submit the necessary KYC documents. Once these have been confirmed, the investment will be converted.
No, the recipient never receives cash until the investment is redeemed. An investment can only be redeemed – i.e. liquidated – 3 months after it has been activated.
An activation code has been generated and delivered along with the Gift Card. You activate your investment in these simple steps:
i. On the website, select ‘Activate your gift card’
ii. Type in the activation code supplied via e-mail and the code sent to the phone number associated with the Gift card
iii. Fill in the necessary information and submit the necessary documentation
iv. Confirm your investment product.
Your investment will be activated, and you will receive a notification via e-mail.
Your gift card must be activated within 45 days of receipt.
If you do not activate your gift card within 45 days of receipt, the giver will be notified, and the liquidation process will be triggered.
What if the price of the investment instrument changes before I activate my investment?
Your investment will be allotted at the prevalent price at the time of activation. Where the investment amount is no longer sufficient to cover the investment instrument, a top up will be required.
