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

Just got a new phone. Reloaded all the info into the app, but repeating error 'Oops there seems to be an error, pls try again later'. Removed the app & reinstalled. Tried for 4th time now, same issue. **Cance Cancel** Just redone the entire process 2 days later..& now all good to go. Pity it did not work when i needed it.

Does NOT work with Standard Bank virtual cards. I'm able to add the card with the R2 authorization, but when trying to make a payment it fails with authentication error. Seems like the dynamic CVV of the virtual card is not properly catered for. This is the ONLY app that has issues with the virtual card!

Hi Mukhtaar, we’re so sorry for the inconvenience caused! Our team is actively working on improving compatibility with these types of cards and this is something we’re aiming to support in the future. In the meantime, using a physical card should work. If you encounter any issues, please contact us at support@snapscan.co.za
