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.
What We’re About
Celebrate success
We go for our dreams. We make things happen. When we win, the people around us win and are invited to succeed.
Love what you do
Believe in what you’re doing. And if something doesn’t feel right, have the courage to question and make changes. We believe people should love their vocation.
Lead. Don’t follow.
Solving problems is in our life-blood. We don’t wait for others to show us what’s possible. We take risks. We take the plunge and lead with the most innovative tech solutions in the country.
Own it
Take responsibility for everything. Own your passion, your power and even your mistakes. We have the humility to admit when things go wrong, fix it. And the courage to start again.
Kindness first
Behind every business interaction is a person involved. We think about the impact of our decision. And treat our colleagues, merchants and clients with kindness, respect and humility.
