Helping Informal Sector Labourers Join the Digital Payment Revolution
As the world becomes increasingly cashless, many people are being left behind, particularly those in the informal sector.
Over 250+ Informal Labourers
The Problem
As the world becomes increasingly cashless, many people are being left behind, particularly those in the informal sector. These labourers, such as parking attendants and car washers at malls, often rely on cash transactions to earn their livelihoods, and are excluded from the benefits of the growing digital economy. However, a new platform called Digitip is changing that, by enabling these labourers to receive tips digitally.
What is Digitip?
Digitip is a digital payment solution that is designed to help informal sector labourers get the tips they deserve. Digitip is bridging the gap between the ever-growing cashless society and the informal sector jobs. The solution leverages the power of Zapper, a digital payment platform that allows customers to easily make payments using their smartphones.
How Does Digitip Work?
Getting started with Digitip is easy. Once a labourer has signed up for the service with one of Digitip’s team members, they will receive a lanyard with a unique Zapper code that they can display to customers. Customers can then use the Zapper app to scan the code and make a digital payment directly to the labourer. Don’t have the Zapper App on your phone? Download it here.
At the end of the week, each labourer's tips will be totalled up, and they will receive payment directly to their FNB E-Wallet account.
Why Choose Digitip?
Digitip provides a simple, secure, and convenient way to financially empower informal sector laborers with digital payments. In a world where cash is becoming a scarce form of currency in the current tech age, Digitip offers a new way to tip and support these hardworking individuals. By choosing Digitip, you can make a positive impact and join us in revolutionizing the way payments are made.
Easy to Use
Digitip is designed to be easy to use, both for labourers and customers. Labourers simply need to display their Zapper code, and customers can scan it using the Zapper app.
Secure
Zapper uses industry-standard security protocols to ensure that all transactions are safe and secure. This means that customers can feel confident that their payment information is protected.
Convenient
Digitip is designed to be convenient for both labourers and customers. Labourers don’t need to worry about carrying around cash or finding a place to deposit it, and customers don’t need to worry about having money on them or finding the right change.
Inclusive
Digitip believes that everyone should have access to the benefits of the digital economy and is designed to be inclusive. Digitip is proud to help informal sector labourers get the tips they deserve.

FAQS
Informal sector labourers often work in cash-based environments, which can make it difficult for them to receive tips from customers who may not have cash on hand. Additionally, informal sector labourers may not have access to traditional banking systems, which can make it difficult to receive electronic payments. Digitip addresses these challenges by providing labourers with a unique Zapper code that customers can scan to send tips digitally, and by partnering with FNB's E-Wallet to facilitate payments directly to labourers' mobile phones.
Digitip is unique in that it specifically targets the issue of tip payments for informal sector labourers and provides a simple solution for customers to send tips digitally.
We hope that Digitip will help to improve the financial security and stability of informal sector labourers, by providing them with a reliable way to receive tips digitally. We plan to measure the impact of Digitip by tracking the number of labourers who sign up for the service, the volume of tips that are processed, and any feedback or testimonials from labourers about how Digitip has helped them.
Digitip is part of a broader trend towards digital payments and the cashless economy, which is being driven by the increasing availability of mobile devices and the rise of digital payment systems. By providing a simple, user-friendly way for customers to send tips digitally, Digitip helps to bridge the gap between traditional cash-based payments and the emerging digital payments landscape.
We plan to provide training and support to labourers who may not be familiar with digital payments, to help them understand how to use the Zapper code and the FNB E-Wallet system. We will also provide customer support and troubleshooting services to ensure that labourers can easily access their tips and other payments.
We are exploring partnerships with businesses and institutions that employ informal sector labourers, to help them understand the benefits of digital payments and to encourage them to use Digitip to send tips and other payments.
