Are you sure this isn’t a scam?
That is a scam, they probably send mass texts linked to tracking numbers that have a registered phone number.
Don’t even need an associated list, just a random list of phone numbers. People online shop enough.
It’s probably against your bank’s TOS to give your password to a 3rd party. No way this is legit. Run away.
My understanding is that should you disclose your credentials you would generally void any fraud protection the banks may offer.
Scam
Google seems to suggest they’re some sort of fintech company out of South Africa? Either way if that’s their product then I’d run a mile in the other direction, and then another just be sure.
Yep. They’ve been around for years.
Normally you would just give them your card info like any other online pay site like PayPal etc. but I don’t know why they suddenly decided to give everyone at the company a deluxe lobotomy
I saw this shit yesterday when I was trying to buy a weed cart online (still not sure if it’s legal or not. I still hear stories of those moron cops arresting people for “drug possession” i.e. didn’t pay a bribe)
Noped out and just gave the clearnet grey market drug website virtual card info that’s gonna expire in a few hours anyway
Don’t. And report them to your bank.
Seen the same thing with other third party payment systems in south africa. Run away my dude.
As a fellow saffer, and a person who works with scam victims, I’m curious as to what services asked you to do that? Feel free to pm me.
Well that’s a scam
What could go wrong?
They look trustworthy, right?
If you’d like, I can show you. Just uh, need you to sign a waiver saying you authorize this little demonstration and accept all risks.
Also, gonna need your login credentials…
They maybe use Plaid to connect your bank? I still wouldn’t do it though. Fuck Plaid. Fuck handing out creds. Find another way.
Whatever it is, it isn’t worth it
They’ve been doing essentially the same thing for years. Here’s the site from 2 years ago. Not to say that this is definitely safe, but scam sites usually don’t last this long

Step 3: Log in and select your account to pay from. Don’t worry, we have security covered. 🤣
Yeah, scam or not, this method of getting your account and routing information is not at all secure. I’m actually more surprised that the banks allow another site to initiate the login with a plaintext password. This defies all decent security practices.
