Tips and Tricks

FICA Fees on Bonds
FICA fees are no longer automatically added to Statement of Account for further loans. Fields to select your options are added per institution to Bond > Institutions > as follows:-
  • FICA fee payable for 1st bonds?
  • FICA fee payable for further bonds?

FICA Fees - Inclusion in 'Statement of Account' made optional.
For all institutions a new field has been added to the tab with the label 'FICA fee payable?' in order to activate inclusion of 'FICA identification and verification fee' on the statement of account.

To activate the above field in the tab, capture the following in SetUp > Bonds > Institutions > (per institution)
  • 'FICA fee payable for first bonds?'
  • 'FICA fees payable for further bonds?"
  • 'FICA fees for Individuals'
  • 'FICA fees for Juristic parties'



Quotation Calculator - 'FICA fee payable?' field is appearing on the Quotation Calculator and makes merging of the FICA fees for quotations optional.


Extent on TD Forms
We are getting a lot of queries about the extent not being captured in the "Area of property" field on the TD forms. We are attending to this, but note that SARS have confirmed that they are happy with the extent only being in the main property description and the other portion being left open.

While we're on the subject of Extent, please remember that you cannot use a comma in the extent field as this will result in an error if you try to send an electronic rates request. You need to use a full stop in the extent field.

This month's recipe - Avocado Sprout Salad with Red Pepper & Olive Dressing
  • 1 lettuce or a packet of mixed salad leaves
  • 4 avocados, skinned and diced
  • 1 cup alfalfa sprouts
  • 1 punnet snap peas

Red Pepper & Olive Dressing:
  • 1 teaspoon herb salt
  • 2 medium red peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup pitted black olives

Arrange salad leaves on a platter and top with avocado, sprouts and peas. To prepare dressing, purée ingredients in a blender until smooth, and serve with salad. Couldn't be easier!
