A national-currency ledger, not a coin

What the balance is

You see the currency of your country. The figure is your share of money a licensed gateway has collected for your instruction. In South Africa that gateway is PayFast: cash or a bank payment lands in the PayFast account, and the portion that is yours is what eyesWallet shows. In Lesotho the same job belongs to Vodacom M-Pesa. eyesWallet does not issue a new unit, does not mine a token, and does not promise that a balance is a bank deposit.

Lesotho to South Africa

The loti is pegged at par to the rand under the Common Monetary Area, together with the Namibian dollar and the lilangeni. One loti is one rand. There is no central-bank exchange spread on that peg, so eyesWallet does not charge an FX margin on it. Moving the value still has to pass a South African Authorised Dealer or Authorised Dealer with Limited Authority, and the Lesotho rail. The fee is that rail's fee. It is shown in the sender's currency and taken only when the dealer settles. Until that contract is in place, Send records the instruction and leaves both balances unchanged.

Other countries

A reference rate can be shown. The dealer who executes the exchange sets the rate and the fee. The platform does not hold the foreign currency on its own book. Registration is open everywhere. A load waits until a gateway in that country is named.

EL Wealth and the FSP licence

A Financial Services Provider licence under the FAIS Act authorises advice and intermediary services on the financial products named on that provider's certificate. It does not, by itself, authorise deposit-taking, e-money, or a cross-border currency transfer. EL Wealth can introduce a person to a bank deposit or a collective investment scheme when the certificate covers that product. Confirm the FSP number and the product list on the FSCA register before any investment product is offered in EL Wealth's name. The FSP does not qualify a Lesotho-to-South Africa wallet transfer on its own. That transfer needs the authorised dealer and M-Pesa.

Rewards

The published model takes a three percent fee only when value moves. Thirty percent of that fee is investment capital in the platform's own name, thirty-five percent is platform cost, and thirty-five percent is support. Of interest actually earned on that capital, seventy percent stays in the pool and thirty percent is shared: thirty percent customers, thirty percent providers, thirty percent services, ten percent the School of Sustainability. That share is a loyalty distribution of platform income. It is not interest on the safeguarded balance. The five percent monthly line in the worked example is the sheet's illustration of compounding. The live pool posts the amount earned, once a year. The default assumption on the pool record is eight percent a year, and it is replaced by the real amount.

CareerWIL

CareerWIL runs the voice desk and the compliance queue: who may load, which gateway is contracted, and which cross-border instruction is still waiting. CareerWIL is the operator of that queue. The licence sits with the gateway, the authorised dealer, and, where advice is given, the FSP.
