For your recipient
Does my recipient need to do anything?
Wave, QMoney, and Afrimoney: No action needed. Funds are credited directly to their mobile wallet.
Easy Financial Cash Pickup: Yes. They need to visit an Easy Financial location in person to collect their money.
What details does my recipient need to provide?
Wave, QMoney, and Afrimoney: No details needed at collection. Make sure you enter the correct mobile number when sending, as money is sent directly to the wallet linked to that number.
Easy Financial Cash Pickup: A valid photo ID (national ID, passport, driving licence, or residence permit) and the transaction reference number.
How does my recipient cash out?
