There are no two ways about it: card payments are the way of the future. As customers continue to embrace the benefits of paying by card, you need to ensure you can process them – or risk losing out.

Card payments are on the rise – big time.

Shoppers from all walks of life, across South Africa, favour cards over cash. Card payments are so prolific, in fact, that paying with cash is now seen as downright old school.

While cash and the consumers who use it will always be around, card payments will continue to grow in popularity thanks to the fact that an increasing number of South Africans are officially becoming ‘banked’, the formal term for someone having access to a bank account.

Accepting card payments benefits your customers and you.

Card payments are the shiz, for several reasons. They’re secure (read more about our security protocols here), they’re convenient (who wants to dig through a purse for change?), and they’re Covid-19 safe. By accepting card payments, you’re able to cater to more customers. And more customers mean more sales. YASSS.

You don’t need to be a big business to accept card payments.

From buying their morning flat white from a drive-thru coffee caravan to topping up on data (where does it go though?) – SA shoppers are using card payments for, well, pretty much everything. In other words, consumers are paying for all manner of purchases with cards at businesses big, small, and everywhere in between.

Contrary to popular belief, accepting card payments is super simple.

We know you’ve got a bajillion other things to worry about – getting to grips with complicated tech in order to accept card payments shouldn’t be one of them. Yoco card machines are easy to use so that you can accept card payments without a hitch.
