FAQ’s
What is Instant Money?
Instant Money
Bulk Issuing is a payment service that will allow employers (businesses or
individuals) to pay their staff’s wages, allowances and incentives in a
cost-effective and secure manner. These recipients could be employees or
individual vendors, partners, or customers.
Where can the recipient cash out the money?
The funds can be
cashed out immediately from any of Standard Bank’s ATM’s or AccessPoints or
through any SPAR store nationally. The employer chooses a secret PIN code for
each recipient which he/ she provides to them and the recipient receives a sms
to confirm that money is available to be cashed out.
Are the any limits are on the amounts that
can be sent?
Yes, per recipient there is a send limit of R5, 000 per day and R25, 000
per month.
Does the recipient need a bank account to receive the
money?
No, a bank account is not required.
When can the recipient cash out the money I have received?
Our retail partners’ (Spar, Standard Bank AcccesPoints,
One-Cell) business hours will apply. Vouchers can also be cashed out at SBSA
ATM’s at any time.
When will the transferred funds be available?
The recipient will be immediately notified of the funds
received via SMS and can request a cash out using the secret PIN code at a
participating outlet.
I have sent money to the incorrect cellphone number, can I rectify this?
Yes, the PIN code is the most important number needed
to cash-out the money. Call 0860 463339 (IMONEY). Request assistance from the
operator to retrieve the transaction and re-send it to the correct cell number.
Remember, you will require your ID and the proof of the original transaction in
order for this to take place.
Is the money stored on the
recipient's cell phone?
No. The cell phone is only an information transfer
mechanism. Value is not stored on the phone or on the cell phone network's
system. The funds are safely held at the bank in a Standard Bank account, until
redeemed/paid-out.
What happens if the recipient uses the incorrect PIN code for a Pay-Out?
Please ensure provide the correct PIN code to the
recipient. If the recipient enters the wrong code 3 times your funds will be
suspended for a 24hr period.
