FAQs
Max card machine questions and answers...
What business is best suited for the Max card machine?
The Max is perfectly suited for businesses that need a reliable payment solution that also helps them to attract more customers by selling more products.
Why do I need to FICA before I can rent a VodaPay Max card machine?
FICA, or the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, is a set of laws in South Africa aimed at preventing financial crimes like money laundering and terrorism financing. It requires financial institutions to verify your identity and monitor transactions for suspicious activity.
To FICA your Kwika card machine, you need to provide:
- South African ID or Foreign national documentation
- Proof of Banking
- Business Registration if you have a registered business.
- Confirmation Letter to confirm that you are a business representative.
This is a compulsory process that protects you, us and your customers from malicious transactions.
