Turn cash into digital payments at ATMs or point of sale
More than half of South Africans still prefer to make cash payments. Increase revenue by unlocking an expanded user base.
Receive confirmation as soon as cash payments are settled via a unique barcode presented at till or reference entered at an ATM and automatically attribute payments to a user’s account or release products or services.
Enable seamless refunds and withdrawals, and automate disbursements over API
Easily send a refund to the same account used to pay in, and enable seamless withdrawals to a linked and verified account. Send payouts across a list of account numbers (e.g. vendor payments) over API.
You can also transfer funds to Stitch to provide float, which we’ll monitor and track against payouts at no extra cost.
Process and manage manual EFT payments over API
With PayOS, you can initiate, route, reconcile and manage multiple payment types and extract data across payment methods, platforms, payment service providers and geographies – with a single integration.
And we’ll never ask you to leave existing contracts and relationships at the door. We offer dozens of pre-built PSP integrations and customisable hosted payments flows so you can configure the workflow rules that make sense for your business.
