FASTACard can be used with most of the well-known payment apps like SnapScan, Masterpass and Zapper to make purchases in a store. You will need to check that the particular store can accept your chosen payment app, either in store or on their website:

 

SnapScan - https://www.snapscan.co.za/user.html

Zapper - https://www.zapper.com/users

Masterpass is offered by most of the major South African banks, which you can download directly from your app store. Examples of Masterpass apps are Vodapay, Capitec Masterpass, Absa Masterpass, Standard Bank Masterpass

 

We strongly recommend using Masterpass to pay at a store. You will be able to pay with your Masterpass app at any store that accepts SnapScan or Zapper.
