Vodacom partners with Mastercard to launch a digital payments app
Vodacom announced that it has partnered with Mastercard to launch a new secure digital wallet and payments app called VodaPay Masterpass.
The VodaPay Masterpass is made for Vodacom users so that they can have a secure place to pay for things such as airtime, data, bills or utility bill through the app.
The companies explained that their customers can use the app to load any bank card into a secure digital wallet turning their device into a digital payments portal.
They said in a statement: “Once loaded, these cards and the secure credentials associated with them are safely stored, enabling the customer to start transacting immediately without the hassle of entering these details each time they make a purchase.”
VodaPay Masterpass also lets customers scan a QR code to pay for items where Masterpass is accepted, such as Zapper and Snapscan merchants.
“Once a QR code is scanned, the user selects the card they wish to use, and enters their bank PIN number on their own device to complete the transaction,” the companies said in a statement.
VodaPay Masterpass is available on the Google Play Store for Android devices, and Apple’s App Store for iOS.
