About SnapScan

Paying for the things you want is as easy as a snap. No need to carry cash, load a wallet, worry about your card being skimmed or wait for a credit card terminal.

SnapScan allows you to:

- Make quick and convenient payments using only your phone
- Buy at shops and markets without handing over your card
- Pay with your debit or credit card (no extra wallet)
- See a list of previous transactions
- Locate great merchants close to you (across South Africa)

Simply install the app, link your credit or debit card and start shopping at any merchant displaying a SnapScan code. No need to deposit cash or load a wallet.

You will not be charged any additional transaction fee for using SnapScan.

U70%
by U####:

Was working before. Now it says card verification failed.

U70%
by U####:

Unable to use the app because ABSA visa verification does not work properly. Please add another form of verification if you can.

U70%
by U####:

Worked well. Pity Master and Visa cards only.

U70%
by U####:

I just tried the verification again after an hour, and then it worked :)

Perfect! Would like to use NFC soon though!

I never carry cash this works better and faster

L70%
by L####:

Easiest way to pay ever! Feels like magic every time. Super convenient and very secure. The cash of the future.

Please add fingerprint authentication as extra privacy measure instead of PIN.

Couldn't link my debit card...what a pity.

Z70%
by Z####:

Awesome app. Use it all the time.

U70%
by U####:

Amazing app... I have never had a single issue, the only irritation is that I can't give a name to my different card that I have connected to the app.

L70%
by L####:

Guys, now none of my cards work! Why did you break the app??

V70%
by V####:

I tried resending the verification code for my phone and I still hadn't received mine yet.

U70%
by U####:

Does what it says..

Q70%
by Q####:

I used SnapScan on my previous phone (an iPhone) and it accepted my Dutch Visa card without a problem. Now I have a new phone (an Android) and wanted to install SnapScan there, but now it says it can't authorise my card. Very sad, now what? UPDATE: Support team contacted me and solved the issue. I can SnapScan again. Thanks guys!

U70%
by U####:

Suddenly get an error 'your card is invalid, please reload and try again'. Worked fine last week, and the card itself works (reloaded and verified!). EDIT: Solved by reinstalling the app, thanks! But perhaps have a look at the misleading error message.

U70%
by U####:

Very bad and useless app to use in South Africa. I'd rather use Zapper that is way way better. Snap scan asks me to put in password everytime I want to purchase. Ain't nobody got time for that.

U70%
by U####:

App keeps messing up my phone number. Sees anything longer than 7 digits as invalid, won't accept a "+" for international dialling code. Don't get SMS with code so app is useless to me. I'll stick with Zapper. Uninstalling.

A70%
by A####:

At first I experienced issues verifying my ABSA card, but they seem to be resolved now and I have successfully completed my first transaction. Incredibly convenient, thank you.

L70%
by L####:

It is simple. It works. (Camera API used needs to be updated, as the camera orientation on my phone is wrong - android.hardware.camera2 API for new applications).

U70%
by U####:

Will not verify my Capitec card. My mistake - I had to switch on online payments - ie go to phone banking. Now works - thanks for the helpful reply.

U70%
by U####:

Useless and embarrassing. If you have a Mastercard use Masterpass,it is much more reliable and international cards work better on it.

U70%
by U####:

I like snapscan. But the 1 in 5 instances where it just fails to open its always super awkward for me and the merchant.

U70%
by U####:

This app worked twice before but ever since I updated the version, I can't seem to make payment.

E70%
by E####:

Linked my card, R2.00 transaction went thru but now I tried to use it to pay for something and it gives me an error message

U70%
by U####:

I tried to load my ABSA debit card and it was rejected. 5 stars if it can work.

U70%
by U####:

Great app. Only problem is, the iPhone version has touch ID support. Why no fingerprint authentication on Android?

U70%
by U####:

A major disappointment is the lack of fingerprint authentication instead of entering a password.

W70%
by W####:

I tried to add my Absa debit card and it failed repeatedly, even though the description of the app says it supports both debit and credit cards, that is in fact not true

I70%
by I####:

Would give this app 5 stars if it had the facility to enter a tip of choice rather than have to select 10%, 15%, etc. Zapper has this facility and makes it my preferred app for cellphone payments.

U70%
by U####:

Great app. I've got my Absa, FNB and Capitec cards in there. Masterpass recently started collaborating with SnapScan but the SnapScan app is still much friendlier and easier to use so I'll stick to it.
