Don’t have a credit or debit card handy? No problem. Pay-U accepts credit, debit as well as Instant EFT payments.

What is Automated/Instant EFT?

Instant or automated EFT is a streamlined version of traditional EFT. It makes a bank transfer a lot faster and easier by pre-populating most of the fields, only requiring unique buyer information (e.g. account and 1-time pin).

How does it work?
  1. Once you have confirmed the report to purchase, click Submit Payment and you will then be directed to the Pay-U Payment site.
  2. Choose your payment method from the available options:
    - i-Pay – for Instant EFT
    - Debit/Credit Card
  3. Click Continue.
  4. Select your Bank from the available options:
    - Absa
    - Capitec
    - FNB
    - Investec
    - Standard Bank
  5. Log into your bank using your internet banking profile.
  6. Select the correct account to debit for the transaction.
Payment Options
Credit/Debit Visa and Mastercard

This payment option is the quickest and your report will be sent immediately. Please note that this process requires a 3D Secure-activated card. Normally, this is done automatically; however, sometimes it may require activation by a branch of your bank. Remember, 3D secure authentication provides a secure and fraud-free e-commerce experience.

i-Pay

i-Pay allows you to instantly pay for your report by electronically transferring funds using Internet banking.

Is 3D Secure?

3D Secure provides an extra step during the online payment process to ensure that only you, the cardholder, use your card. Also known as Verified by Visa, MasterCard SecureCode or Amex Safekey, it allows you to enter your previously selected PIN/Password or a One Time Pin - helping your bank to know it is you shopping online. With an additional focus on the safety of e-commerce transactions, your bank may have already registered you for the service, or you may be required to register during your next online purchase.
