Where can I use my FASTACard?

FASTACard can be used to shop online anywhere in South African where Mastercard is accepted, and in-store at participating retailers using payment app enabled QR codes.

It can also be used on Uber, Netflix, Checkers Sixty60, Takealot and lots more.

What is a Payment App?

This is an application (app) that you download to your smartphone that lets you pay with your phone quickly, easily, and safely. These apps make use of your phone's camera to scan a unique QR code at a store which allows you to pay them.

 

Which payment apps can I use with my FASTACard?

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 - https://masterpass.com/en-za/retailers.html

 

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.
