PAYFAST CAREERS
Help us empower South African entrepreneurs online.
We’re on a mission to grow the digital economy of South Africa.
Join us!
Since 2007, Payfast’s mission has been to disrupt the payments industry and bring South Africa, and the continent at large, into the age of ecommerce. We’ve worked hard to break down the barrier of online payments and assist businesses of all sizes to get online and generate revenue.
Our success as a leading, home-grown payment gateway is thanks to the awesome people, or Payfastians, who work at our organisation. We appreciate and celebrate everyone’s individuality and are as passionate about helping our colleagues succeed, as much as the online businesses and entrepreneurs who have partnered with us.
