      Feenix partnered with SnapScan to make donating to students simpler. With a QR code snap, a contribution to the Feenix Pool Fund may be made automatically. the contribution can be as small as the price of 2 cups of coffee. Both funds go directly to involved and Feenix interested students. I find that Contributing to students wellfare is amazing by this parternship.

  • This year we expect to see mass adoption of QR – contactless – and mobile payments. 2021 will see mobile network operators like MTN and Vodacom, which have had many fits and starts in mobile payments, coming back aggressively and this might be the year they can mainstream payments on their platforms by partnering with fintechs.

  • A free app available for any smartphone, SnapScan works almost like a pocket ATM linked to the user’s debit or credit card account. Instead of handing over a card, customers scan a unique SnapScan logo posted at the cash register with their camera-enabled phone. They enter the amount, type in a pin code (or use touch ID) and a few seconds later the vendor’s phone chimes with a confirmation sent by SMS. It’s quick, painless, and entirely safe, says Ehlers. SnapScan is backed by Standard Bank, one of South Africa’s biggest banks, and uses cutting-edge fraud protection technology. More to the point, he notes, it means that vendors never have access to actual credit card details. “That means no one is noting down your number so he can go shopping later,” says Ehlers.
  • It’s been so long since 30-year-old Cape Town entrepreneur Kobus Ehlers last used his wallet that he’s not even sure where it is. “My car maybe?” he says as he reflexively scans the cheerfully decorated offices of his startup, SnapScan. When it’s pointed out that leaving a wallet in a car in a city infamous for break-ins and carjackings may not be a good idea, he shrugs. He probably doesn’t even have the equivalent of five dollars in it, he says. “I never use cash. Credit cards are over. There are much better ways to pay for things.”As the co-founder of one of South Africa’s most successful electronic payments apps, Ehlers is of course expected to use his own product. But the real reason he isn’t worried about his wallet is because Cape Town is a city seduced by the idea of cashless and cardless transactions, in no small part because of his company’s success. “You can literally wake up in the morning, buy a cup of coffee, go to your dentist, have lunch, pay your bills, take a taxi, go out for dinner, and donate to your favorite cause without using cash or a card,” says Ehlers. “And in none of that is there any risk of your card details getting stolen, or you getting mugged for your cash.”

      SnapScan is an example of Fintech's performance. I assume, however, that these kinds of creative companies need to be sponsored by strong organizations. SnapScan is backed by Standard bank and this bank is powerful financial institution in South Africa. So I think that in order to develop their offerings, Fintechs should use the financial power of banks.

  • SnapScan may make mobile payments easy for users, says Ehlers, but the reason why the company has been so successful in South Africa is that it makes processing the payments easy—and cheap—for sellers. With traditional credit card systems, and even Apple Pay, vendors have to buy expensive equipment to process the payments—something small businesses can rarely afford. But SnapScan only requires an upfront investment of the less than five cents it costs to print out their Quick Response [QR] Code, a square, camera-readable version of a traditional bar code that resembles a mosaic tile, and tape it to the cash register. “If someone wants to buy from you and you don’t have a credit card machine, and the person doesn’t have cash, our payment system is the difference between closing the sale and not closing the sale,” says Ehlers. Registration is free, and the company charges retailers an average fee of three percent, on par with most credit card companies.

      Snapscan is very useful for Startups and vendors willing to switch and rely on the digital transformation due to both its low cost and effectiveness. additionally, the platform is practical for cashless consumers.
  • It was that question, of how to bring small businesses that couldn’t afford traditional credit processing facilities into an increasingly cashless environment that inspired Ehlers and his co-founders to develop SnapScan. Like many Cape Townians, Ehlers was a fan of the Big Issue, a South African spinoff of a British charity that prints high quality magazines for homeless men and women to sell at a profit in order to work their way off the streets. Most of the vendors ply traffic backed up at intersections for sales. But because of the risk of carjackings, which have nearly doubled in the greater Cape Town area over the past two years, to 1530 reported incidents, few motorists keep cash on hand. “People stopped buying the magazines,” says Ehlers. “A Big Issue vendor comes up and says ‘do you want to buy a magazine,’ and you say ‘I do, but I don’t have cash with me.’ That was a problem we realized we could solve very easily.”

      I, personally, think that the best business ideas are the ones solving current issues faced by customers because it would be easier to promote and sell a product to an already existing market. This article points out that the business idea of Snapscan arrised from a simple discussion between a magazine seller and a cashless buyer, now it is one of the biggest Fintechs in Africa. indeed, We should believe in our potential to change others' life.
  • SnapScan customers don’t have to worry about sending their credit card details to online vendors that may not have the latest fraud protection. They just scan the QR code at the virtual checkout like they would in the real world.
  • As a result, SnapScan has been adopted by about 12,000 small and medium businesses in more than 17,000 outlets across South Africa.
  • SnapScan has 150,000 registered users, and processes hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments every day for everything from airline tickets to handcrafted wicker baskets at roadside curio stalls.

  • For all the talk of a new cashless society ushered in by the likes of Apple Pay in the United States, it’s going to be a while before a swipe of a phone will buy a meal in most cities. But in Cape Town, it’s already happening. I’ve used my phone to pay for parking, cover a medical bill, order take out, buy groceries at my local farmers market and give money to the homeless woman selling the South African version of Street News at the traffic light. Churchgoers use their phones for donations. My facialist just informed me that I could pay for Botox treatments with SnapScan. I’ll take that as her endorsement of an increasingly popular payment service, and not a hint.

    SnapScan is an example of the efficiency of fintechs. However, I believe that these kind of innovative businesses need to be backed by strong institutions. SnapScan is backed by Standard bank and this bank is strong financial institution in South Africa. So I think that fintechs can use the financial power of banks in order to improve their services.

SnapScan Credit Card Fee

  • Mr Winter, however, feels security is actually enhanced by the likes of SnapScan and FlickPay, as the customer's credit card is never handled by the merchant so cannot be skimmed or copied. Mr Rusagara says the system is secure for both customer and retailer, with QR codes expiring upon use, or after 90 seconds.

      Security is being a common concern of the community which made it a necessity for companies to be security centered in order to assure their customers. in fact, SnapScan focused mainly on this issue and developped an innovative tool namely QR codes expiring after a max of 90 seconds.
  • "SnapScan does not charge shoppers any fees. Merchants pay a small transaction fee that is comparable or cheaper than using normal credit card facilities."

      Using SnapScan is cost-effective because the transaction fee is cheaper than the normal credit card one.

  • Customers, when purchasing, simply need to scan a QR (quick response) code in store using their phones. And the customer can use any MasterCard or Visa card to sign up. Ehlers added: “We tried to design a product which allowed absolutely everybody to be part of the formal side of the economy.”
  • In an interview with How we made it in Africa, Ehlers explained: “A sizable part of why we built the product the way we did really relates to how the economy of South Africa functions. So to give one example, we built SnapScan so the merchant selling the products doesn’t need any special hardware at all. No point of sales system is required.” Merchants who don’t have bank accounts can redeem payments at any Standard Bank ATM or selected supermarkets.

      SnapScan is a new app that aims to make it easier to make mobile payments, so I think this unique concept will drive potential entrepreneurs to develop and build new ideas that can enhance real digital services. It isn't always a major challenge to develop a new concept, but the problem may be how to view the idea or how to preserve it. SnapScan is a notion of a new concept that in South Africa revolutionized mobile payments so that this company could inspire us to build better ideas.
  • SnapScan’s partnership with Standard Bank has allowed the company to grow faster. But Ehlers and his team are still required to adapt to the differences between the corporate and start-up worlds. He explained: “A start-up can quickly make a decision and then two hours later start implementing, whereas in a large corporation there is a process, things move a lot slower. Politics are involved and different people – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing, just the reality.”

  • SnapScan offers quick, easy, and secure mobile payment solutions to retailers so their customers can enjoy the convenience of paying on the fly. Mobile payments can also mean that staff spend less time processing payments, as SnapScan can be integrated with a variety of leading point-of-sale systems. Businesses that offer delivery services can give their drivers a lanyard with a SnapCode (unique QR code) so customers can pay for goods or services during delivery. Retailers that have an online store can use SnapScan to offer a streamlined and consistent experience to their customers across multiple platforms.

  • Evolving checkout processes are one of the fastest growing trends in the retail space, as users are demanding better and more flexible shopping experiences and payment processes. Because of this, cashless payments and omnichannel options are becoming the norm, putting forward the business case for mobile payments, as they provide customers with a consistent experience. In fact, retailers that are reconfiguring their systems to accommodate increasing mobile customers – who expect multichannel options which support quick and secure digital payments – are more likely to see a boost in sales and growth.

  • Yes! SnapScan is safe to use on multiple levels: The app requires a PIN to be entered before any transaction can be completed. This prevents anyone who has your phone from making transactions, as your PIN should be known only to you.  Your card details are also encrypted and stored safely and securely on your phone. Even if your phone is stolen, nobody will be able to see or access your card details.

      I think that it's important to notify that Payment information sits securely in the app. So, the card details only have to be put into the app once, and thereafter all you have to do is enter the Pin. This means the application never transmits the card details to the merchant.
  • SnapScan is a new innovative mobile payment App on a smartphone. It provides a cashless, card-less payment app that consumers can use at thousands of merchants across South Africa or to make donations to CANSA.  It can be used for customers of any bank in South Africa (not just Standard Bank).
