Pick ‘n Pay Group’s Boxer Stores
now support Deposit @ Till
Following Pick ‘n Pay’s launch
of a new point-of-sale service called Deposit @ Till, the functionality
has been extended to include the Pick ‘n Pay Group’s Boxer Stores. Deposit
@ Till enables customers to make direct cash deposits into their bank
accounts at any Pick ’n Pay and Boxer store countrywide.
Deposit @ Till was developed
by Efficacy Payments in partnership with Transaction Junction, with Absa as the
sponsoring bank.
Efficacy Payments managing director
Andrew Marsh says there is still a large need to expand customer access to
financial services: “A significant number of wage earners still get paid in
cash on either a daily, weekly or monthly basis. By the time they finish work
and get paid, most traditional bank branches are closed and cash accepting ATMs
are few and far between. This leaves wage earners vulnerable to criminal
elements as they make their way home.”
With Pick n Pay and Boxer’s
significant national footprint and daily, longer trading hours,
the Deposit @ Till service will now enable customers to deposit wages
and other funds into any Visa or Mastercard linked bank account.
Platform: South Africans wanting to
use this service simply need to go their nearest Pick ’n Pay to make a
deposit.
Expect to pay: A free
service, but users may incur banking fees for depositing cash.
Stockists: Visit Pick ’n Pay here to find the closest branch.
