Description

In this episode, we dive into the role of PayInc. (formerly BankservAfrica) at the heart of South Africa’s payments ecosystem. With 53 years of experience, PayInc. has been instrumental in building and maintaining the country’s payment infrastructure. Today, it processes nearly 400 million transactions a month, ensuring that payments are secure, reliable, and always on. From card swipes to instant transfers, their systems quietly power the economy while supporting financial inclusion for millions.

We also explore the evolution of payments over the past five decades, the technology behind high-availability systems, and how PayInc. is modernizing through cloud, microservices, and AI-driven innovation. With a focus on resilience and scalability, their work keeps South Africa’s financial systems running 24/7, even during peak times like paydays and Black Friday.
