Pick n Pay is doing R1-million/month in crypto transactions
Pick n Pay now records around R1 million per month in crypto transactions, according to new reports (techcentral.co.za). Shoppers use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on the Lightning Network to pay for groceries, airtime, municipal bills, and more at nearly 700 stores—up fourfold from its launch, with typical payments under R500 and a cap of R10,000 per transaction (techfinancials.co.za). Integration is handled by MoneyBadger via CryptoQR, compatible with Luno, VALR, Binance, and other wallets (techfinancials.co.za). This aligns with Pick n Pay’s cash-reduction strategy and supports financial inclusion.
Bitcoin payments at over 1 500 Pick n Pay stores now available through Luno, VALR
Pick n Pay recently enabled Bitcoin payments at over 1 500 stores across South Africa through integration with CryptoConvert and popular crypto platforms Luno and VALR (mariblock.com). Previously, customers needed separate Lightning wallets and a CryptoQR scanner, but now they can simply scan a QR in their Luno or VALR apps—no extra apps required (mariblock.com). This seamless setup allows shoppers to pay for groceries, airtime, electricity, travel tickets, and municipal bills using existing crypto balances, with zero service fees from Luno (bitcoinke.io). The rollout follows regulatory approval declaring crypto as a financial product, pushing mainstream adoption (supermarket.co.za).
South Africa's Second Largest Supermarket Chain Pick n Pay Trials Bitcoin Payments
Pick n Pay, South Africa’s second-largest supermarket chain, piloted Bitcoin payments at a store in 2017 but paused due to high fees. With the rise of the Lightning Network, which enables faster and cheaper transactions, the retailer resumed trials, allowing customers to pay using Bitcoin by scanning a QR code at checkout. The move opens access for unbanked South Africans to participate in digital commerce using just a smartphone. The pilot reflects growing interest in crypto for financial inclusion. Pick n Pay plans to expand the service nationwide, becoming a pioneer in mainstream retail crypto adoption in South Africa.
