According to a 2007 survey by Finscope, 40% of the South Africa market does not make use of any banking services, which has also stopped people from taking advantage of the so-called "digital revolution," and has also limited the amount of marketing that companies have done into those who have previously not used banking services.

Ukash has partnered with Blue Label Telecoms to launch the product in South Africa, who own a large selection of terminals where consumers will be able to purchase pre-paid vouchers.

Purchasing the cards requires no bank details or Identification, making it a totally safe and anonymous transaction which can be done by anyone form all walks of life. The solution also limits fraud opportunities.

As of now, Ukash vouchers will be accepted at a number of South African retailed as well as airlines and social networking and music websites.

"We aim to maintain and grow the existing business while bringing the Ukash solution to other markets worldwide. We will continue to partner with e-wallets as the top-up method of choice. We will also further establish ourselves as the preferred prepaid payment solution for the savvy online customer."
