Northgate LogisticsSouth Africa · ZAR · details changedRe-approval
Bank details changed on Northgate Logistics. Approval required again before the next payment.
Approved before first use
Changes re-approved
Add a beneficiary with the bank details, country and currency. It is reviewed before first use, and any change to those details goes through approval again. Payments to unapproved beneficiaries are not possible.
Your treasury runs on email, and nobody can see anything.
Client-facing internet banking does not exist for this account structure, so visibility has had to come from somewhere else. We built the somewhere else: one console, every account, every transaction, with approvals on everything that moves.

WHY OUTSOURCE THE DESK
A desk that runs it, and a screen that shows it.
You stop being the treasury department.
Deal booking, exchange control, BoP reporting and compliance ownership sit with our desk, not with your finance team.
Everything on one screen.
Balances per account, full transaction history with filters, pending items and booked deals, all in one place instead of in an inbox.
Nothing moves without approval.
Beneficiaries are approved before first use, and every change to bank details goes through approval again. Payments are approved before release.
An audit trail, not a spreadsheet.
Every action on both sides is logged, and statements and transaction data export for reporting.
Companies that pay across borders and would rather not build a desk.
Importers and exporters
Regular currency pairs, regular exchange control.
Groups with multiple entities
Separate accounts, separate reporting, one system.
Finance teams of one
A CFO or a controller who is also the treasury department.
Businesses paying suppliers abroad
Where the payment is routine and the paperwork is not.

BEFORE YOU TALK TO US
The questions a CFO asks first.
Who actually holds the money?
Your accounts sit with Investec as banking infrastructure partner. 80eight is the technology and the desk that runs them.
Can we book our own deals?
You submit a deal request and a dealer confirms it. Self-execution is not available today.
How long does onboarding take?
timeline. Our team runs the KYB rather than leaving it with you.
Who handles exchange control?
We do, end to end, including BoP reporting.
Can we add a beneficiary ourselves?
Yes, and it is approved before its first use. Any later change to bank details is approved again.
What currencies can we hold?
Rand, US dollars, euros and pounds
Is there a mobile app?
Not today. Treasury is a web platform.
What does it cost?
Pricing is per client structure. The table above shows what you are charged for, and the desk will price yours.
What reporting do we get?
Statements, transaction exports and full audit history, on demand.
What happens if a payment is rejected?
You see the reason on the item, and the desk tells you what it needs.
CONTROLS AND COMPLIANCE
Your money, your approvals, your audit trail.
Approval on everything that movesBeneficiaries approved before first use, bank-detail changes re-approved, payments approved before release.
Roles that mean somethingAdmin, compliance, read-only and client roles, enforced across every screen and every endpoint.
Compliance owned, not passed backKYB, risk thresholds, flagged transactions and regulator-ready audit logs sit with our team.
Reconciled, not assumedBalances and transactions are synced from the bank and reconciled against our own ledger. A mismatch stops activity rather than hiding.
