## About the product

SAPay is a fintech payment and fleet management platform for South Africa’s minibus taxi industry, serving passengers, drivers, taxi owners, and associations with cashless fares and connected “Smart Taxi” operations.

Key capabilities include:
- **Cashless fare payments** via tap or scan with a phone on in-vehicle sensors, **SAPay cards** (QR-based), and **credit or debit cards**. Taxis can also accept **Visa “Tap on Phone” NFC** payments through a dedicated driver app.
- **Digital wallet top-ups** from **credit or debit cards**, with support for buying SAPay cards through participating retailers and taxi ranks (for riders without smartphones or bank cards).
- **Driver tools for route and fare management**, including starting and ending shifts, selecting routes, viewing a passenger fare list, and issuing **manual refunds**.
- **Owner and association visibility** through **real-time vehicle tracking**, operational dashboards for monitoring vehicles and earnings, and an association reward model that pays **2% of fares** (as described on the onboarding pages).

Available on **Android** (passenger app and driver APK) and **Web** for registration and wallet access, including iPhone registration via the web.

Target users include **passengers** who want cashless taxi payments, **drivers** who process fares and manage shifts, and **taxi owners and associations** that need tracking and earnings oversight.

Notable in the South African market for focusing on the minibus taxi ecosystem with a combined payments plus tracking approach, BBEEE positioning, and partnerships mentioned with **Visa**, **PayU** (for top-ups), and **Absalife** insurance, with fuel payments referenced as an upcoming capability (Engen and others).
