Normal EFT
Do a direct brank transfer into our Nedbank account. EFT stands for electronic funds transfer, for your bicycle shipment of course. Please use your Order ID as the payment reference. Your order will not be delivered until the funds have cleared in our account. But you can send us the proof of payment to get the ball rolling. Either on WhatsApp or email to hello@bicyclecouriers.co.za
An EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) is a digital payment method that allows for the electronic transfer of money between bank accounts. This can be done either within the same bank or between different banks. EFTs are commonly used for various types of payments, such as paying bills, transferring money between personal accounts, and for business transactions. EFTs can be initiated either through online banking or by visiting a bank branch.
Instant EFT
An instant EFT is like a normal EFT, just faster! Instant EFT is an electronic funds transfer payment method that enables you to make secure online payments directly from your bank account to ours. We love this method, because it is instant and has lower fees for us than accepting card payments…
Instant explanation: Instant EFT is an online payment method that allows consumers in South Africa to make electronic funds transfers to pay for goods and services. It is offered by a number of payment providers and works by allowing the consumer to log in to their online banking platform and authorize the payment to the merchant. Unlike traditional EFTs, which can take up to three business days to clear, instant EFTs are processed immediately, allowing the merchant to receive payment and fulfill the order faster.
Bitcoin
If not, why not. Yes, we do take bitcoin, just for s+giggles. Bitcoin is open-source, public and nobody owns or controls Bitcoin. Everyone can take part. It offers Fast peer-to-peer transactions, Worldwide payments, and Low processing fees. Now you have another payment option for your cross-border bicycle transport.
But what is BTC? Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates independently of central banks or financial institutions. It was created in 2009 by an unknown person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, which uses cryptography to ensure the security and authenticity of transactions. Bitcoin can be bought and sold on various online exchanges and can be used to purchase goods and services from merchants that accept it as payment. You can send over to our wallet at:

Failed payments?
Have you by any chance missed your online payment for bicycle transport? No worries! Do a normal EFT or we can re-send you a payment link so you can pay online. In fact, you can do so right here and right now at this link: pay.yoco.com. Things happen. This is SA. We understand. Loadshedding and this and that. Sometimes it is a wonder we get things done at all. But we are a resilient lot 😊
Oh, and what is a failed payment? A failed payment is a transaction that was not completed due to an error or issue in the payment process. This can occur for various reasons, such as insufficient funds, expired payment methods, technical issues, or incorrect payment details. When a payment fails, the transaction is usually declined, and the funds are not transferred. In most cases, the recipient or merchant will need to request a new payment or resolve the issue with the payment provider before the transaction can be completed successfully.
But not COD!
We use different providers for different areas so cash on delivery is not an option. The only time you can pay us in cash is when you drop off your bicycle with me personally. And even then, I tend to shy away from the additional accounting burden. This is an online prepaid service, and we like doing things the right way.
Meh, old school: COD stands for “cash on delivery.” It is a payment method where a customer pays for goods or services at the time of delivery. In this payment method, the customer usually hands over the payment in cash to the delivery person who brings the ordered goods. COD is commonly used in e-commerce and other remote purchasing situations, where the buyer and seller may not have an established relationship of trust. COD provides a level of security for the seller as they receive payment before releasing the goods to the buyer.
That’s it. Click-click, ding-dong. Now go bike travel.
