Stitch partners with Standard Bank’s Shyft to enable instant wallet top-ups

We've partnered with Standard Bank’s Shyft, the global money app, to enable instant top-ups on the Shyft wallet via card -- for customers of any bank in South Africa. The solution is a response to growing demand from Shyft customers for more immediate access to their funds.    

Global citizens use the Shyft wallet to more easily travel, shop, pay, and invest; and speed and convenience are paramount for them. After noticing a considerable upward swing in global transactions – and increased demand from customers for faster access to their funds – the Shyft team needed a payments partner that could help them modernise their payments stack and bring instant payments to the Shyft wallet.

“The choice of strategic partner depended on a reliable payments platform that could deliver speed, convenience, security and control for our customers. Partnering with Stitch has enabled us to fulfill our clients' expectations with unprecedented speed. Since customers from any bank can already onboard successfully onto Shyft, this collaboration allows us to continue providing exceptional service, and pricing, to clients from any banking institution by facilitating the funding of Shyft wallets from any bank card.” — Dani Morley, Executive Head of Growth at Shyft

Today theShyft team trusts Stitch to manage their payments, leveraging our reliable card payments platform for instant top-ups. Before Stitch, customers used manual transfer to top up and needed to wait 2-3 days for funds to appear in their wallet. Now they can start moving money instantly, and don’t need to worry about liquidity.

Lusanda Dlamini, Head of Card and Payments at Shyft, shared:

“Our commitment to delivering seamless customer journeys is ingrained in everything we do, and Stitch has consistently matched our energy.  There are many ways to access the global financial economy, but it starts with apps like Shyft, and partnerships like the one with Stitch to deliver payment services the way our customers want it.”

Now is the time to try the Shyft wallet. This month, Shyft is waiving transaction fees on all ZAR wallet top-ups from until 14th March. Download the app using the QR code below, or head to shyft.co.za.
