What is SendMoney?

When sending money between GoTyme Bank accounts, the funds are instantly transferred into the recipient’s Current account and they receive an SMS notification. For transfers to non-GoTyme Bank numbers, the recipient gets an SMS with the amount and a 10-digit voucher number, valid for seven days, which they can use to withdraw the cash at any Pick n Pay or Boxer store till point. SendMoney offers a convenient, fast and affordable way to transfer money using just a cellphone, making it an attractive alternative to traditional money transfer methods.
