South Africans, EasyPay Voucher enables customers to top up a range of prepaid services and pay for a selection of value-added products without needing multiple payment methods or vouchers. The voucher allows customers without a bank account or card to pay safely online for virtual services, extending access to online payments to informal consumers and improving financial inclusivity. 

With EasyPay Voucher, consumers can stay connected by topping up their Wi-Fi account; pay for communications services; top up gaming accounts; and so much more. They can use the 16–digit PIN number on their EasyPay Voucher to pay or top- up an account/wallet with their chosen partner.

Easy Use and Purchase options

EasyPay Vouchers are available at EasyPay MoneyMarket or Kazang stores and can be purchased in any denomination. The generic EasyPay voucher can be used to top up a variety of product partner accounts, so consumers no longer need to purchase different vouchers for each service provider.

Michael Wright, Head- Consumer Product and Content at Kazang, says: “EasyPay Voucher puts the power of choice in the hands of the holder. As the rapid adoption of the service shows, there is massive demand in rural and township markets for financially inclusive offerings that make it easy for consumers to pay and informal merchants to add value for their customers. 

“We have partnered with online retailers, websites, and apps in the wi-fi, entertainment, communications and gaming industries to offer customers a one-stop solution. There are plans to add more partners in the months to come to offer more customer choice. We are also aiming to expand the channels where the Voucher can be purchased, including taking sales online”.
