Ozow Unveils PayShap Request, Revolutionizing Real-Time Payments for South African Merchants
South African payments processing powerhouse, Ozow, has announced a significant leap forward with the official launch of PayShap Request. This innovative, real-time payment feature is now seamlessly integrated into its extensive network, empowering merchants across the country with enhanced transaction capabilities. This strategic move solidifies Ozow’s pioneering position in activating PayShap Request within a live operational environment, showcasing its unwavering commitment to supporting the South African Reserve Bank’s (SARB) ambitious agenda for payments modernization and fostering greater financial inclusion nationwide.
Driving Digital Transformation and Merchant Empowerment
The introduction of PayShap Request by Ozow comes at a pivotal time, as the broader PayShap ecosystem continues its remarkable growth trajectory. To date, this instant payment network has facilitated over R100 billion in transactions across a staggering 136 million successful payments, with more than 4.5 million unique ShapIDs already registered. With an accelerating demand for swift, secure, and convenient digital payment solutions, Ozow’s new offering directly addresses this need. Merchants can now immediately leverage the vast and rapidly expanding PayShap network, a key advantage being that customers are no longer required to pre-register a ShapID to complete a transaction. This simplification removes a common barrier, streamlining the payment process and making instant digital payments more accessible for both businesses and consumers. By enabling this seamless integration, Ozow not only enhances operational efficiency for its merchants but also plays a crucial role in expanding the reach and adoption of modern payment methods across the South African economy.
This milestone reinforces Ozow’s dedication to innovation within the African fintech landscape. By leading the charge in deploying features like PayShap Request, Ozow continues to contribute significantly to the evolution of digital payments, making financial interactions faster, more secure, and ultimately more inclusive for all South Africans.
