Rapid Payments Programme

Provide simple, cost-effective instant payments

The Rapid Payments Programme (RPP) is an initiative by BankservAfrica that requires all South African banks to build simpler, more cost-effective real-time payment functionality into their product offering to accommodate high-volume, low-value transactions.

Instant payments

Transfer money from accounts at different banks instantly, at little to no cost, to make digital transactions more accessible and reduce reliance on cash.

Pay by proxy for simpler payments

Reduce complexity in initiating payments by only requiring a simple proxy – like a recipient’s phone number – to pay.

Request-to-pay for faster payments

Help payees initiate payments from payers faster through an easy-to-use payment request service.

Adapt to Change

Take your PayShap solution to the next level
