| Attention: Sole traders, professionals and service businesses Are you wasting time
chasing outstanding payments or dealing with bounced cheques? If you deal with
consumers, you can guarantee your payments by accepting credit cards.
But, it's not
as complicated as the bank would have you believe. In fact, you don't even need an
expensive or complicated merchant account.
Specialised
payment gateways (credit card providers) in South Africa will let you sublet on their own
merchant account, with no need for costly setup or monthly fees. You only pay when
you transact.
Online
payments are processed automatically, so you are free to focus on your core
business. We create your payment page, branded with your logo. You put
your link in your invoice or email, your customer visits your pay page, and the system
does the rest.

How often do I receive funds? |
| An electronic representation of your
funds and all transactions are visible from an online account held with the credit card
provider, which you can access at any time. Actual funds are held by the bank, which
you can transfer to your own bank account online. |
|
The moment a
transaction is processed, funds immediately show in your online account. Withdrawals
to bank accounts are processed every week. If you will be accepting international
payments, your account must be FICA-verified before any payments can be made (this is done
only once, when you sign up). |
