Transfer details
I suggest starting with Wise which is the cheapest option for sending RM8,200.
There are a few ways to fund your transfer, including bank transfer, fpx, and debit card.
DuitNow and FPX are most common, both free and instant from your banking app.
This is for funding your money transfer account, not direct transfers to South Africa.
First time round you'll need your IC, or a passport and permit if you're a foreign worker.
Run a new recipient's account through Semak Mule before you send to confirm their details.
