About this app

Payments shouldn’t disrupt the joy of simple pleasures. Whether you’re on the go or on the couch, SnapScan allows you to make quick and easy payments. After installing the app, simply load your bank card and add a secure PIN or enable biometric authentication. It’s as simple as that.

Pay nice:
- Shop in-store and online
- Pay for parking at various locations
- Send money to friends
- Buy prepaid electricity, airtime and data
- Settle bills (via invoices and in the app)
- Donate to charities, and set up recurring monthly donations

Manage your account:
- Load up to three cards to use for payments
- Add a nickname for each card so you always know which card you’re using
- Top up your SnapScan Wallet and make payments using the funds you loaded
- Authenticate your payments with a 4-digit PIN or biometrics
- Verify your account to withdraw money from your Wallet to your linked bank account, or send money in your Wallet to a friend

What you need:
A valid credit or eCommerce-enabled debit card (SnapScan works with all South African banks and most international credit cards).
A South African cellphone number

App doesn't accept my card. Just doesn't work. Card Change limit reached, but this is my first card I am adding. Months laters still having the same issue. I wish the scan on my phones camera didn't force me to go to the app and left me to do the transaction on my browser

Useless app and useless UX when your credit card expires and you get a new card. Impossible to first delete the old card. Impossible to update expiry date. Impossible to see which card is new and which is old when adding the new card. They phoned me and gave me a workaround for their lack of proper functionality. Guess what, it didn't work. Honestly pathetic.

This is a mobile payment app for shops and markets. Scan to pay, no contact. Set up is quiet easy. Helpful for small businesses and everyday shopping.
