​

​

​

What does the Service cost?

This service to send value is the following:

 

To Mozambique CNS Transfers 9%

To Zimbabwe 0%

To Malawi 0%

​

NOTE

​

Standard mobile network operator fees and USSD/APP costs apply for calls or/and messages.
 

​

​

How do I register for the service?

​

You must be registered with Kawena (K-wallet) to use the cell phone sending and online purchase services. Note you can also pay via debit/credit card for online purchases. To register with Kawena suitable documents in line with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) 2001 need to be produced. A light registration will require a recognised proof of identity document. Only the following documents will be accepted:

 

• SA Green ID Document; 

• New SA ID Card;

• Foreign Passport;

• Maroon refugee identity document;

• Refugee or Asylum Permit; or

• Work Permit

 

You can register by using the APP on your cell phone or pre-register using the USSD on your cell phone. You must provide Kawena with all the correct information and a copy of your “identity document”. Only when the original “identity document” is presented, at a Kawena branch or an activation team member or via social media or APP will the registration be completed.

 

NOTE

​

Customers who visit the nearest Kawena branch to present their original “identity document” must be physically present. Under no circumstances may the document be supplied or delivered by anybody else.

 

 

​

How does the Send Service work? 

 

After the registering, via the APP or USSD, is complete you will receive a message reflecting your PIN/OTP number

 

You can now enter the correct information of the beneficiaries (Recipient) on your cell phone. Kawena does not validate the information you provide. Mozambican beneficiaries must be registered with CNS/Mpesa to send value.

 

You must provide the following details of the beneficiary/s:

 

• Full names and surname

• Contact number

• Gender

 

Once all the information has been entered, you can now deposit value through ABSA and Standard Bank ATM’s (not at the bank teller/counter), EFT or at a Kawena branch. No cheques, debit or credit cards are accepted. Only ZAR (Rand) can be used. The minimum limit per deposit is R100.00.

 

IMPORTANT

​

When transacting through ABSA or Standard Bank, the registered cell phone number (with Kawena) must be used as the reference. Incorrect cell phone numbers may credit the wrong E-wallet and may not be recovered. Reference number should start with local dialling code, 27……

 

As soon as you receive the electronic receipt confirming the value deposit you can transfer to your beneficiary. You must retain your original deposit slip from ABSA or Standard Bank as proof of deposit in case of any dispute.

 

Should you not receive a SMS within 48 hours after depositing or transferring value, (dependent on network and notifications from ABSA or Standard Bank) you must contact the Kawena Call Centre. Deposits at a Kawena branch are immediate, dependant on system connectivity.

 

NOTE

​

Should value be transferred into the incorrect beneficiary account, Kawena will be unable to transfer to another account. All transfers are irreversible.

 

Kawena’s office hours are:
