Why have Payfast emails changed to a network.global domain?
As part of our ongoing commitment to align closer with Network International, as from 26 February 2024, all of our employee email addresses will change/ have changed from name@payfast.io to name@network.global. For now, all our other email addresses like support@payfast.help will remain as is, but these will also be updated in the future.
The transition to @network.global forms part of our efforts to streamline our communication channels and present a unified identity as part of the Network International family. We assure you that this change will not impact your payment processing services. We remain dedicated to providing you and your customers with a safe, efficient and seamless payment experience.
