★★★★★ Nokwazi Xulu · Feb 10, 2026
It good and olso link my card I hope my money will get there cause my first try to snap scan
★★★★★ Sonya Lakhani · May 24, 2025
My banking app was not allowing me to buy prepaid electricity for a day now. But thanks to this app, I could. This is a great alternative and great to have when your banking app is giving you issues.
★★★★★ vVuyiswa. guliwe89 · Jul 30, 2026
This is a mobile payment app for shops and markets. Scan to pay, no contact. Set up is quiet easy. Helpful for small businesses and everyday shopping.
★★★★★ Faith January · Jul 2, 2025
Still waiting on payment process to be completed this after submitting withdrawal for more than 7 days already, have sent feedback & reported problem no reply received still waiting
★★☆☆☆ Mukhtaar Parbhoo · May 1, 2026
Does NOT work with Standard Bank virtual cards. I'm able to add the card with the R2 authorization, but when trying to make a payment it fails with authentication error. Seems like the dynamic CVV of the virtual card is not properly catered for. This is the ONLY app that has issues with the virtual card!
★☆☆☆☆ Dane Moore · Sep 26, 2025
This is a zero-star app. Gives a card details error even though the details are correct and the bank app verification was completed. On attempting to load another card a card change limit error occurs. Really useless developers as these are not unique problems to me.
★☆☆☆☆ CD SYED · May 24, 2025
I installed the app, downloaded my bank card details n next thing I get a message for online shopping, snap scan is a scam. Why is snap scan taking money out from people's account ????????????

Description by FireID Payments Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Payments shouldn’t disrupt the joy of simple pleasures. Whether you’re on the go or on the couch, SnapScan allows you to make quick and easy payments. After installing the app, simply load your bank card and add a secure PIN or enable biometric authentication. It’s as simple as that.

Pay nice:
- Shop in-store and online
- Pay for parking at various locations
- Send money to friends
- Buy prepaid electricity, airtime and data
- Settle bills (via invoices and in the app)
- Donate to charities, and set up recurring monthly donations

Manage your account:
- Load up to three cards to use for payments
- Add a nickname for each card so you always know which card you’re using
- Top up your SnapScan Wallet and make payments using the funds you loaded
- Authenticate your payments with a 4-digit PIN or biometrics
- Verify your account to withdraw money from your Wallet to your linked bank account, or send money in your Wallet to a friend

What you need:
A valid credit or eCommerce-enabled debit card (SnapScan works with all South African banks and most international credit cards).
A South African cellphone number
