What is Scan to Pay - Powered by Ukheshe?

Scan to Pay is a QR code payment solution that allows merchants and consumers to transact contactlessly. Merchants are able to create and manage static or dynamic QR codes which allow them to accept payments seamlessly. Consumers are able to make payments that are convenient, safe and secure. Scan to Pay Powered by Ukheshe is the rebranded solution from Masterpass to Scan to Pay. The technology of Scan to Pay is provided and powered by fintech enabler Ukheshe.
What is the reason for the rebrand?

Ukheshe acquired the South African Masterpass technology from Mastercard, along with the technology comes the Scan to Pay brand. Scan to Pay Powered by Ukheshe will continue to provide seamless instant payment technology that adds to the ever evolving cashless commerce and digital payments landscape.
Will the way I scan a QR or make a QR payment change?

No customers will still have access to the same processes, technology and seamless experiences of Masterpass, now in Scan to Pay branding.
Will there be any integration changes required by the Banks, PSPs and Merchants for this rebrand?

No technical integration changes will be required during the rebrand. The Rebrand is mostly cosmetic and therefore the main items such as logos, QR code branding and checkout branding would need to change over to the new branding.
How will merchants and customers receive communication and education on Scan to Pay?

Scan to Pay powered by Ukheshe will provide communication via our website and social channels after the rebrand has occurred. Feel free to get in touch with the Scan to Pay team through the contact us form on our website. Key account managers will be assigned to customers in order to assist in a proactive and streamlined manner.
