Why can’t I activate MukuruPay as a payment method?

Compliance plays a very important part in our operations at Payfast by Network. We have to be very mindful of the rules, regulations, and requirements of various bodies governing our operation, including the Payments Association of South Africa (PASA), the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), our partner banks, and the card associations (Visa and Mastercard).

  • Online gambling or casinos (excluding sports betting)
