For bus and coach operators in South Africa, Digit 247 FMS launches 247 Tips on 10 November. Passengers can tip drivers and tour guides by tapping a card with their phone, making cashless tipping possible when they have no cash.
What Is 247 Tips?
Every driver and guide gets a supplied 247 Tips card. Passengers tap or scan it with their phone and do not need an app.
How Cashless Tipping Works: 4 Simple Steps
Tap or scan — The passenger taps or scans the driver’s or guide’s 247 Tips card with their own phone.
Choose a tip amount — A secure page opens where the passenger selects how much they’d like to give.
Pay their way — Payment is made using a bank card or a phone wallet.
Tip delivered — The tip lands in the worker’s 247 Tips wallet.
Three short how-it-works videos are available on the 247 Tips page, including one made specifically for bus and coach drivers.
Getting Paid: Withdrawals on the Worker’s Terms
From as little as R100, workers can withdraw their tips any time they choose. Payouts run through PayShap, paying out to the worker’s own bank account within the hour — day or night.
Before confirming a withdrawal, the worker is shown the single payout cost upfront. Workers manage their own withdrawals directly, while Digit 247 FMS handles support behind the scenes.
