How it works
Once your accounts are set up, we’ll begin trading on your behalf. Every trade is fully hedged, meaning you’re completely shielded from market volatility. In fact, thanks to this hedging strategy, we already know your returns before executing your trades—it’s simply a matter of waiting for your funds to settle.
Our vertically integrated system allows us to track your funds throughout the entire process, ensuring full transparency and efficiency.
Opening these accounts is a one-time setup that typically takes about a week, with the foreign exchange holding account requiring the longest.
Each Orbit cycle is completed in approximately one business day, after which your funds will be deposited back into your Investec account.
Getting started is easy. Simply open accounts with:
- Investec – via our trusted treasury outsourcing partner, ensuring optimal fees and security.
- VALR – South Africa’s most reputable crypto exchange.

Discover your returns
Our automated technology finds and captures crypto price differences worldwide, turning market inefficiencies into steady, repeatable profits. Here are some example snapshots of your potential returns.
In this example, assume the following:
- You have invested R100k,
- The returns throughout the year are a steady 1.5% nett return,
- You can obtain the full R10m FIA allowance from SARS.
- You request that all profits are withdrawn as they are made.
We could transfer a total of R11m outside of South Africa for the calendar year (your SDA of R1m and your FIA of R10m). Because you have requested to withdraw all profits as they are made, your Orbiting amount will stay the same at R100k throughout the year.
You will do 110 Orbits in the year, taking an estimated 9 months to fully realise your profit. After 9 months you would have withdrawn R165k in profit and still have R100k invested in Orbits (that you can withdraw too).
In this example, assume the following:
- You have invested R100k,
- The returns throughout the year are a steady 1.5% nett return,
- You can obtain the full R10m FIA allowance from SARS.
- You request that all profits are reinvested as they are made.
We could transfer a total of R11m outside of South Africa for the calendar year (your SDA of R1m and your FIA of R10m). Because you have requested to reinvest all profits as they are made, your Orbiting amount will increase gradually throughout the year, up to about R260k.
You will do 66 Orbits in the year, taking an estimated 6 months to fully realise your profit.
After 6 months, you would have a total of R265k invested in Orbits (which you can withdraw fully).
In this example, assume the following:
- You have invested R250k,
- The returns throughout the year are a steady 1.5% nett return,
- You can obtain the full R10m FIA allowance from SARS.
- You request that all profits are reinvested as they are made.
We could transfer a total of R11m outside of South Africa for the calendar year (your SDA of R1m and your FIA of R10m). Because you have requested to reinvest all profits as they are made, your Orbiting amount will increase gradually throughout the year, up to about R410k.
You will do 35 Orbits in the year, taking an estimated 3 months to fully realise your profit.
After 3 months, you would have a total of R415k invested in Orbits (which you can withdraw fully).

Arbitrage is a low-risk trading strategy that takes advantage of price differences for the same asset across different markets. At Orbits, our automated system identifies these discrepancies and executes trades seamlessly, ensuring you earn consistent profits without being exposed to market volatility.
Our platform uses comprehensive foreign exchange and cryptocurrency hedging processes, shielding you from price fluctuations in both crypto and currency markets. This ensures that your returns are predictable and secure before trades are even executed. There are absolutely no risks involved for our clients.
Yes, you can withdraw your funds at any time, as long as they are not currently in an active Orbit. Orbits is designed to give you full control over your funds, ensuring transparency and flexibility. Once an Orbit is completed, your profits and principal are available for withdrawal.
Withdrawals are processed directly through your linked Investec account, and there are no restrictions or penalties for withdrawing your funds. If you decide to stop using our service, simply withdraw your funds and stop initiating new Orbits—no formal termination is required.
Many ways! We offer full hedging, very fast returns, automation, unbeatable customer service, and all for the lowest fee around. All our competitors try to obfuscate their fees – we are upfront about it – 33.3% of the profit generated.
Absolutely not!
Our platform is fully automated and designed to be user-friendly, making it accessible even for beginners. Once your accounts are set up, Orbits handles the entire arbitrage process for you—from identifying opportunities to executing trades—so you can earn profits passively without needing technical expertise or advanced market knowledge.
Unlike traditional crypto arbitrage that often requires expertise, risk management skills, and constant monitoring, Orbits simplifies the process by automating everything. This means you can focus on enjoying the benefits of crypto arbitrage without worrying about the complexities of trading.
To start using Orbits, you’ll need to meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Proof of Residence: Provide proof of residence in South Africa or submit an affidavit.
- Identification: A valid form of identification, such as a South African ID or passport.
- Liquid Assets: Have at least R100,000 in liquid assets available for trading.
- Tax Compliance: Be registered with SARS (South African Revenue Service) and in good standing.
We recommend a minimum of R100k, to obtain meaningful profits.
If you have more liquid assets available, we would suggest the sweet spot of R250k or more as this will increase profits from each trade.
Unfortunately not, a requirement of this process is that you have South African Tax Residency.
If you’re a foreigner with SA Tax Residency, you’re welcome to reach out to us and we can work out the best way to proceed.
Typically one business day, with two business days occasionally occurring due to bank transfer times.
This quick turnaround ensures you’ll be Orbiting frequently.
Yes! Orbits is an ad-hoc service, meaning you can stop using it whenever you like without incurring any costs or penalties. You’re always in full control of your participation.
Orbits operates with a simple and transparent fee structure. We charge 33.3% of the profit from each completed Orbit, significantly less than any competitors. Importantly, this fee is only applied to profits—there are no charges for unprofitable trades.
Additionally, there are no account setup fees, maintenance fees, or hidden charges. You even earn interest on idle funds while they are not in use.
This straightforward approach ensures that you only pay when you profit, making Orbits a cost-effective and user-friendly solution for crypto arbitrage.
Delays in cryptocurrency network transactions can occasionally occur due to network congestion or other unforeseen factors. However, Orbits is designed to minimize the impact of such delays through its full hedging strategy. This ensures that you are not exposed to price fluctuations during the transaction process.
While delays may slightly extend the time it takes to complete an Orbit, your funds and profits remain secure, and the system automatically adjusts to optimize results once the transaction is processed.
Orbits is designed to not only mitigate the risks of market volatility but also take advantage of it.
Our full hedging strategy ensures you’re protected from price fluctuations, while increased volatility often creates larger price discrepancies, leading to higher profits.
With our high-speed automated system, Orbits is perfectly positioned to capture these opportunities and deliver secure, enhanced returns.
Although we do not guarantee profits, Orbits does guarantee against loss.
Even though we will only ever trade on your behalf if we are certain about realising profit, we cannot guarantee it due to the possibility of events outside of our control.
However, in the unlikely event of a loss from a trade, Orbits will cover this in its entirety.
The ROI from crypto arbitrage trading with Orbits depends on factors such as the amount of capital invested, the number of trades completed, SARS yearly allowance, and market conditions.
Some clients have had a yearly 100% ROI, and others earned R1.2m from their R300k investment over the years, which is a ROI of 400%.
Have a look at the examples above on this page to understand more.
Yes, absolutely. Arbitrage is a form of trading to rectify market imbalances – in reality, this is no different from buying any asset internationally. It operates within the regulations set by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) and the Currency and Exchanges Act.
