You already know who you are paying.

Send starts from the person, not the paperwork. No account number to find, copy and check twice.

WHY SEND

Instant, not "instant".

Payments between 80eight accounts settle in our own ledger, so the money is there before you have put your phone down.

Free. Both ways.

R0.00 to send and R0.00 to receive between 80eight accounts, in rands or stablecoins. No monthly fee and no minimum.

No bank details. Ever.

Four ways to reach someone: a name, an 88Tag, an email or a cell number. We confirm who it is before you go further.

EVERY WAY TO REACH SOMEONE

Four ways in, and you never need a bank detail.

Pick whichever you already have.

A name

Search your contacts or anyone on 80eight.

An 88Tag

Type @theirname, or scan their QR.

An email

Works whether or not they are on 80eight yet.

A cell number

They get an SMS and claim it within 48 hours.

BEFORE YOU SEND

The questions people ask, in the order they ask them.

Does the person I am paying need 80eight?

No. If they are on 80eight it is instant and free. If they are not, send to their cell number and they get an SMS. Unclaimed after 48 hours, it comes back to you automatically.

What does it cost?

R0.00 between 80eight accounts, in rands or stablecoins. Crypto sends carry the network fee, shown live. Mobile money and bank payouts carry a fee that is shown before you confirm.

What if I send to the wrong person?

On 88Pay and mobile money we show you a confirmed name first. On the bank rail no provider can verify an account holder's name, so check the number. Payments to someone not yet on 80eight can be cancelled inside the 48-hour claim window.

How fast does it actually arrive?

Instantly between 80eight accounts. Crypto depends on the network. Mobile money is usually within minutes. Bank payouts are not instant and you can check the status.

Can I pay a business?

Yes. Scan their QR or pay their 88Tag. Businesses settle instantly too, so there is no payout wait.

Do I still need my bank account?

Yes. You fund your wallet from an account in your name.
