Introduction
The new age of technology comes with many changes. One of those is how we pay for things. Before the pandemic, most people went to stores to buy things but afterwards came the digital revolution of payments. As digital payments evolve, Peach Payments has ensured that most South Africans have access to the technology.
Peach Payments allows online and offline merchants to accept payments on their websites, mobile sites and mobile apps. Businesses have access to all payment methods including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, mobile wallets, electronic wallets and mobile operator billing.
Peach Payments was launched in 2011 with the goal of “revolutionising the online payment space in South Africa,” according its their website.
Today the company operates in South Africa, Kenya and Mauritius and, according to its website, it processes over R1 billion a month for their merchants. Among their clients are Adidas, UCook, SweepSouth and Netflorist, and more.
