Can tourists pay EasyPay?
EasyPay is built for people who live in South Africa: signing up takes local ID or a local bank account, and usually a South African phone number. A card from home can’t pay the code on the counter, and opening a local account takes paperwork a visit rarely leaves time for.
Moreta closes that gap. It pays the EasyPay code itself, from a balance you top up with your own bank, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and converts at the live rate at the moment you pay. One flat fee, shown before you slide to pay.
Card or cash
- A foreign transaction fee on most cards
- Your bank's rate, or the terminal's worse one
- ATM fees from your bank and the operator
- Leftover South African rand to change back
Moreta
- One flat fee, shown before you slide to pay
- The live rate at the moment you pay
- No ATM and no card to hand over
- What you do not spend stays for the next country
How to pay a EasyPay code
Set Moreta up once, at home or on the plane. After that, paying a EasyPay code in South Africa is a scan and a slide.

Local tips
- Look for the Zapper, SnapScan or Scan to Pay mark on the bill, the stand or the window.
- Keep a little cash for car guards, township tours and rural markets.
- Load shedding can knock out a merchant's signal. If a scan stalls, the app tells you before anything is charged.
