How it works

Three taps. That's it.

From the moment a tip is tapped to the moment a worker walks out of Shoprite with cash in hand — every step on rails that already work.

01 · Tap
The card is the moment.
A guest taps a Vula card with their phone. The tip moves instantly onto regulated rails — not onto the card itself.

Safely held on rails.
The balance sits on existing, fully regulated infrastructure. Vula doesn't hold the money — it just routes it.

One tap. From a guest's phone to cash at Shoprite.

No awkward "sorry, I don't have cash." A guest taps, the tip lands on regulated rails in seconds, and the worker collects it as real rand at any Shoprite Money Market counter.

Why Vula

Small thing. Big difference.

We didn't invent a new payment rail. We connected the ones South Africa already trusts — and made them cashless-friendly for the people who need it most.

Instant

Tap-to-tip lands on the worker's balance in seconds. No EFT wait.

Encrypted end-to-end

No personal data on the card. Nothing shared at the moment of tap.

Regulated rails

Model A under Paystack. We don't custody money — we just route it.

100% to the worker

Every rand a guest tips reaches the worker's point of withdrawal.

By the numbers

The shape of Vula.
