Receive the funds, fast!

Get access to your money without a lengthy wait.

Repay easily

Repayments are automatic, which means you’ll pay back your advance as you receive payments on your VodaPay Card Machine.

EXAMPLE OF FEE BREAKDOWN

How repayments work

A fixed percentage of your sales will go towards repaying the funding advance balance, making repayments stress-free.

Have more questions?

How is it different from a bank loan?

There are no fixed monthly repayments, interest rates or hidden fees. You repay more when your sales are strong, and less when they slow down. It’s fast, flexible, and designed to move with your cash flow, not against it.

Who can apply?

Any South African business that’s been trading for at least 4 months, uses a VodaPay Card Machine, and has consistent monthly sales. No paperwork or bank statements needed!

How much funding can I get?

You could qualify for up to R1.5 million, depending on your sales volume, consistency, and history. The more stable your sales, the better your chances of unlocking higher amounts.

How fast will the money arrive?

You can apply in minutes, and once approved, the funds typically land in your account within 48 hours.

Can I get more funding later (a ‘Top-Up’)?

Yes! Once you’ve repaid a certain amount (about half of the initial funding) and stayed on track, you may qualify for a Top-Up. It's a flexible way to unlock more cash when your repayment performance is strong.
