A 2022 survey from McKinsey showed the share of consumers globally that intend to use three or more digital wallets in the coming years rose from 18% in 2021 to 30% in 2022.

In South Africa today, data from Discovery Bank shows that over 50% of online transactions are made using a digital wallet. The size of digital wallet transactions has also increased by 91% from 2019 levels.

In order to leverage digital wallets and wallet-based services, customers need the ability to easily connect payment methods and fiat accounts so they can deposit and withdraw funds to and from their local banks.

Today, wallet-based businesses in South Africa struggle to:

• Increase transaction + deposit volume
• Optimise the user journey and payments experience to reduce friction in deposits
• Securely enable easy, fast withdrawals
• Manage chargebacks and unsettled funds
