No, you don't need to send proof of payment to either of us. PayFast's system confirms that the actual funds have been transferred so there is no need for an email or a fax from the bank as further confirmation.

We hold bank accounts at ABSA, FNB, Nedbank and Standard Bank. When you pay, you pay into a bank account held at the same bank as your own. Because it's an internal transfer, the payment takes place instantly and we're able to positively acknowledge that the funds have reached our account in a matter of seconds!
