payment methods in South Africa

The fastest-growing African digital commerce player is experiencing a substantial digital behavior maturation; meanwhile, digital payments are becoming increasingly common in South Africa.


Even though the country has a functioning credit system, with 43% of people using cards to buy online, expensive value-added services do not necessarily meet the needs of the underbanked.


That is when digital wallets and instant electronic funds transfers are helpful for South Africans. Ozow, for instance, is a gateway that allows locals to make bank-to-bank payments using their smart devices with no cards involved.
