Ozow Made Easy

Payments for everyone.

Everything we do at Ozow is driven by our ambition of enabling “Payments for everyone”.

And we do that by upholding three main tenants: Easy, Fast, Trusted.

Our payment flow is the perfect example of how we integrate these three pillars into the products and services we provide. When you’re ready to pay with Ozow, all you need to do is follow the steps outlined in our payment flow below:

That’s it. A few easy, fast, and secure steps to get you from checkout to checked out.

Payment methods

There are four main payment methods that are available to you, that’ll allow you to make payment at any of Ozow’s thousands of merchants.

eCommerce

Once your basket is full, and you’re ready to check out, select Ozow as your payment option and follow the steps to pay. It’s that easy.

e-Billing

If you owe a retailer or financial institution an outstanding payment, they can send you an e-bill that contains a “pay now” button. All you need to do to settle is select the button and follow the simple payment flow.

SMS link

Just like with e-Billing, a retailer or financial institution can send you an SMS with a payment link. Again, all you have to do is follow the link and complete the steps to make payment.

QR code

You can also pay in-store, or when you receive your delivery. If the Point of Sale system at your favourite store offers Ozow, all you’ll need to do is scan a QR code with your phone, and you’ll be redirected to make the payment. The same applies to deliveries – just scan the QR code the courier shows you.

More Ozow Products

Besides the flagship Ozow service, we have a few other products that make everything payments-related a breeze.

Ozow PIN

The Ozow PIN makes paying with Ozow even more convenient than it already is. Once you’ve set up the 4-digit PIN, you won’t need to remember your online banking login details, so your journey from pending to paid is even quicker. Setting it up is easy too – when make a payment with Ozow, select the option to create an Ozow PIN. Once you’ve made the payment, you’ll then go through the simple process to create your PIN. The next time you make a payment through Ozow, all you need to do is login with your Ozow PIN, approve the payment with your bank, and you’re done. Learn more about Ozow PIN here.
