Send cash, get cash | Available on Investec Online and the App

You can easily and conveniently send cash to anyone with a cellphone number, including yourself, using ‘Send Cash’ on Investec Online and the App.

Any client with a SA Private Bank Account, Business Account or Investec Youth Account, can use this service and get cash at any Pick n Pay Store or Pick n Pay Hyper in South Africa.
How it works
How to send cash
  • Log into Investec Online or the App
  • Go to ‘Make a payment’ and select ‘Cash send’
  • Choose if you want to send cash to yourself or a third party
  • Select the account you want to draw the cash from and enter the amount
  • Enter the cellphone number (for a third party recipient). The cellphone number will be pre-populated for the ‘send to self’ option
  • Select ‘Submit’ – an SMS redemption code will be sent to the recipient
How to get cash
  • When the recipient gets the SMS redemption code, the cash is immediately available.
  • Go to any Pick n Pay Store or Pick n Pay Hyper in South Africa within five days
  • Give the SMS redemption code to the cashier and confirm the amount
  • Get the cash and confirm you have it in full – simple as that!
The Ts and Cs
  • The limits (per account) are:
    -    R50 minimum
    -    R3 000 per transaction
    -    R6 000 per day
    -    R15 000 per month
     
  • To send cash will cost R11 per transaction (whether the redemption code is used or not). Fees are not refundable
  • The SMS redemption code is valid for five days. If it’s not used, the redemption code will expire and the funds will be returned
  • You can resend the SMS redemption code twice to the original cellphone number selected
  • Withdrawals are subject to cash availability at the store
  • You can cancel the cash send at any point before it is redeemed. Log into Investec Online to do this.
  • The recipient can only withdraw the full amount – partial redemptions are not possible
  • No Rewards points will be earned for these transactions
  • On Youth Accounts, the parents will also receive the transactional SMS (dual notification) that money has been drawn from the child’s account

Multiple user access

  • Only the main account holder and level three single signatory Multiple Access Users can send cash. The same limits apply
  • The voucher SMS will be sent to the user transacting and not the main account holder
  • Existing rules will apply for MUA levels zero to four.
