How it works

  1. 1

    Save your card once

    Add your bank card in the RankPay app. We check it with a small amount that is refunded straight away.

  2. 2

    Show your pay code

    When you get in, open RankPay and show your pay code. It works once and expires after 90 seconds.

  3. 3

    Driver scans, you're done

    The driver scans your code and enters the fare. You get a receipt, and the driver is paid into their bank account.

No app? Riders can also pay by scanning the driver's QR code, which opens a secure card checkout in the browser.

Upfront pricing

Drivers keep the full fare. Riders pay a small fee: a 3% RankPay fee plus the bank card fee.

Safe by design

Card details never touch RankPay

Cards are captured and stored by Paystack. We only see the card type and last four digits.

You approve every fare

Nothing is charged unless you show a fresh pay code. Each code works once and expires after 90 seconds.

No stored balances

RankPay does not hold your money. Each fare is charged once and paid directly to the driver.

The things riders and drivers ask us most. Can't find your answer? Ask us on WhatsApp.

For riders

Can I still pay with cash?
Yes. RankPay is an extra way to pay, not the only way. Use whichever suits you on the day.
Is my card safe?
Your card is saved by Paystack, a licensed payment processor, not by RankPay. We only see the card type and last four digits. Nothing is charged unless you show a fresh pay code, and each code works once and expires after 90 seconds.
What if my card is declined in the taxi?
The driver sees that it was declined straight away, so you can pay cash instead. Check your balance or add a different card in the app before your next trip.
What does it cost me?
The fare plus a small fee: a 3% RankPay fee and the bank card fee, about R2.18 on a R15 fare. You see the total on your receipt. See all fees.
What if the driver enters the wrong fare?
Your receipt shows the fare and fees straight away. If it's wrong, contact us within 7 days and we'll sort it out. See Refunds & Disputes.
Does my taxi accept RankPay?
We're starting with a small number of routes and associations. Join the list below with your route, and we'll let you know when RankPay reaches it.

For drivers

How and when do I get paid?
Each fare is paid by Paystack straight into the bank account you add in the RankPay Driver app, on Paystack's regular payout schedule. RankPay never holds your money.
What does RankPay cost drivers?
Nothing. You receive the full fare, with no commission, no sign-up fee, no monthly fee and no device to buy. Just your phone.
What do I need to start?
A smartphone with a camera, and a bank account in your name or your taxi business's name.
Can my whole association join?
Yes, and we'd love to talk. Choose “I run a taxi association” below or chat with us on WhatsApp.
