How it works

One scan. Paid in Bitcoin or crypto. Settled in Rand.

  1. ScanAt the till or at online checkout, the shopper scans the QR code with the wallet they already use: Luno, Binance, VALR, Bybit, AltCoinTrader or any Bitcoin Lightning wallet.
  2. PayThe Rand amount is locked at the point of sale. MoneyBadger handles the conversion, so the business carries no price risk.
  3. Get paidThe business receives Rand through its payment provider's normal settlement cycle, like any other payment.
