SendSpend WagePay
How does it work?
-
You provide SendSpend with an Excel file (or agreed file format) containing the following information:
-
Name, cell number, amount and payment date for each employee/casual labourer you wish to pay.
-
-
You send SendSpend an EFT for the total amount that needs to be paid
-
The employee receives an SMS prompting them to download the SendSpend app and register with SendSpend for an e-Wallet.
-
If you have more than 30 employees/casual labourers to pay, a SendSpend agent will come to your premises to assist in signing them up.
-
-
SendSpend will action the payment to the e-Wallet for each person on your behalf.
-
The employee/casual labourer can then cash-out their salary at any of our many SendSpend agents, purchase prepaid data/electricity from within the app or pay for goods electronically, including retail chain stores, spaza shops and even online.
