Ozow Welcome to Ozow’s official page 🚀 Empowering South Africa with seamless payment solutions⚡️

Apple Pay and Google Pay are now live as part of Ozow’s payments suite.

As consumer payment preferences continue to evolve, we're making it easier for merchants to offer two of the world's most trusted and widely used payment methods through a single Ozow integration.

Consumer demand for digital wallets continues to grow, with GlobalWebIndex reporting that almost half of global internet users prefer digital wallets over traditional payment methods for online purchases. By offering familiar, trusted payment options like Apple Pay and Google Pay, merchants can create a faster checkout experience and increase the likelihood of conversion, particularly amongst mobile-first and international customers.

For merchants, this means:
• Faster checkout experiences powered by biometric authentication
• Reduced cart abandonment and improved conversion rates
• Access to trusted payment methods customers already know and use
• Seamless compatibility with Shopify, WooCommerce, and all major e-commerce platforms
• One integration partner for your complete payments stack

Apple Pay and Google Pay join Ozow’s growing suite of payment solutions, helping merchants accept payments the way their customers want to pay.

This marks another important step in our mission to define the way money moves and build a full-stack payments platform designed for South African businesses.

Ozow was proud to exhibit at the Absa South Africa Commercial Payments Summit 2026, joining industry leaders, innovators, and partners for a valuable day of conversation and collaboration around the future of payments.

The summit provided an exciting opportunity to showcase Ozow’s growing end-to-end payments stack, including new products designed to deliver faster, simpler, and more seamless payment experiences for businesses and customers alike.

Visitors to the Ozow stand also had the opportunity to experience our payment solutions first-hand through our interactive touchscreen demo experience and walked away with a pair of exclusive Ozow x Versus socks after completing the journey.

A big thank you to Absa for hosting us, and to everyone who visited our stand, connected with the team, and shared their perspectives with us throughout the day. We look forward to continuing the conversation beyond the summit.

This past weekend, you may have spotted a few runners representing Ozow at the 2026 Cape Town Marathon, with Ozow socks on full display across the city.

From cheering each other on along the route to those final tough kilometres, it was great seeing the team show up, support one another, and proudly represent Ozow on race day.

A big congratulations to everyone who ran this weekend. We’re proud of every kilometre completed.

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕

Did you know? Bitcoin Pizza Day, celebrated on 22 May, marks the first real-world Bitcoin transaction. Back in 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz exchanged 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, proving that Bitcoin could be used as a true medium of exchange.

To celebrate the occasion, we visited LIFT Airline , one of the first merchants to enable Crypto Payments with Ozow, to share a few pizzas and celebrate the growing adoption of Crypto Payments on their platform.

As South Africa’s most flexible airline, LIFT serves both local and international customers travelling domestically. By enabling Crypto Payments, they’re able to offer greater flexibility to customers who may not have a South African bank account or use the Rand as their primary currency.

Thanks to the LIFT team for hosting us. We look forward to creating even more value together as we continue to introduce payment experiences that are fast, seamless, and secure.

C-Suite Insider: Ozow Leadership

For our Chief Growth Officer, Catherine Korsten, leadership comes down to clarity, trust, and accountability.

When people feel supported and empowered to take ownership, they do their best work. In Catherine's view, her role is to set direction, remove friction, and keep the team moving forward.

At Ozow, that approach ensures growth is intentional, focused, and built on momentum that lasts.

A look back at our recent Crypto Payments workshop with .za

As we continue to roll out Crypto Payments across the Ozow ecosystem, our partner, MoneyBadger, hosted a workshop to deepen our team’s knowledege of the crypto payments landscape in South Africa and the value it delivers to merchants and customers. The session gave us the opportunity to explore real-world use cases and unpack how crypto is expected to evolve as a payment method in the years ahead.

Led by their Head of Revenue, Ben Blaine, the session focused on simplifying complex concepts, building confidence across our team, and ensuring we’re ready to support merchants and customers as adoption grows.

Thank you to MoneyBadger for an insightful and engaging session.

C-Suite Insider: Ozow Leadership

For our Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Lyle Eckstein, leadership is about creating space for ownership.

He believes people do their best work when they feel they’re building something of their own, not simply executing a plan.

At Ozow, that mindset drives a product culture rooted in ownership, curiosity, and accountability, where teams are empowered to think beyond delivery and build payment experiences that shape how money moves.
