ABOUT THIS DECK
• 2014 has ushered in the first 3 mobile payments apps in South Africa
• The most notable mobile pmt apps to date will be looked at in this presentation:
– Zapper– Snapscan (in partnership with Standard Bank)– Flickpay (in partnership with Wigroup)
REVIEW• Registering on all 3 apps is smooth and
seamless, taking less than 5 mins
• Experiences at merchants have been excellent, with Zapper and Snapscan improving the restaurant exit experience markedly
• The only negative we experienced was where cashier intervention was required (Flickpay), which leads to a backfiring of the experience
