Standard Bank Instant Cash allows Standard Bank account holders to send money to Standard Bank account holders, non-standard bank account holders, and unbanked cash vouchers to redeem. The service has proven to be very efficient, as it is one of the best money wallet services in South Africa.

Even Standard Bank account holders can benefit from instant cash. Being in a remote area can sometimes leave you short on cash, and Standard Bank ATMs may not be found at a nearby shopping center, and forgetting a Standard Bank bank account can make it even more difficult to access money.

Standard Bank Instant Cash has made it easier to get money thanks to the power of the Standard Bank mobile app and mobile banking. Instant cash enables recipients to collect funds at various locations throughout South Africa. These retail establishments include any of the following:

  • Boxer,
  • Builders,
  • Cambridge Food,
  • Checkers,
  • Game,
  • House and home,
  • Kazang,
  • Makro,
  • OK Furniture,
  • OTT collect approved sites,
  • PEP stores,
  • Pick n Pay,
  • Rhino cash and carry,
  • Shoprite,
  • Spar, and
  • Shoprite USave.

Standard Bank instant cash vouchers can be redeemed at any of these retailers. The instant money voucher can also be redeemed at any Standard Bank ATM and branches across the country.
