Empowering Connectivity: Join the FASTR Revolution! 🚀 In a world where access to information should be a universal right, a staggering 90% of South Africans face the reality of having no internet access at home, as highlighted by Stats SA. This digital divide positions the privilege of connectivity as a luxury rather than a necessity in many communities, with affordability standing as one of the primary barriers. At Fastr, we're on a mission to dismantle these barriers, ensuring that every South African has the opportunity to connect to the digital world. Our innovative solution? The Fastr Rewards platform - a game-changer in making internet access affordable for all. Through Fastr Rewards, members can now earn cash to cover their weekly or monthly fibre subscriptions, effectively subsidizing the cost of their internet connection. This is more than just about connectivity; it's about opening doors to education, opportunities, and a brighter future. We invite you to be part of this transformative journey. Visit www.fastrrewards.co.za to discover how your company can support the Free Access to Internet FASTR revolution. Let's work together to bridge the digital divide and create a more connected South Africa. Join us now and be a part of the change. #Fastr #FastrConnect #FastrRewards #FastrCash #TwoSouthAfricas #VoteForFree #FreeAccessToInternetFastrRevolution #BreakingDownTheDigitalDivide

Morning all, On the week the nation sees the new Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023 brought into law, we thought we bring you a unique perspective from Ireland where fair tipping was implemented on December 1st 2022. In our latest episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Oli Cavanagh,Founder of Strikepay, about how they’re reshaping digital tipping across hospitality and service industries. 💸 Here are some highlights: Strikepay was born during the first week of the 2020 lockdown, addressing the decline in cash usage. Their solution? Transforming any phone into a payment terminal with NFC tags and QR codes. This innovative product went from concept to revenue in just 91 days! 🔥 “We wanted something super scalable and easy for anyone to use, turning phones into payment terminals,” Oli explained. Oli shared insights into the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023, which aims to ensure transparency in tip allocation across the UK. Having already navigated similar legislation in Ireland, StrikePay is well-positioned to help UK businesses stay compliant under the new law. ⚖️ “For someone to come along and clean this up, providing direct visibility of where tips are going and ensuring employees receive what they’ve earned, is huge,” Oli said. We also talked about the incredible success stories from StrikePay’s implementation, with delivery drivers doubling their income and major organisations like O2 Arena and Make-A-Wish Foundation adopting the system. “That whole process—from never hearing of StrikePay to getting your first tip—takes less than one minute,” Oli emphasised. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in hospitality, beauty, or the charity sector, as we delve into the future of digital tipping and the strategic decisions that have made StrikePay one of the leading innovators in its space. 🌟 🔗 Tune in now and discover how StrikePay can transform your business! 🎙 Apple : https://lnkd.in/egbfNjZ6 🎙 Spotify : https://lnkd.in/egzUiRYD The Tech on Toast Podcast is brought to you by Square.

This past weekend was centered around family, friends, and food! 🍷 On Saturday, I enjoyed a wonderful dinner with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while. On Sunday, it was a loooong lunch with the extended family — the kind that only wraps up at 5 PM! 🕔 When we finally reached the payment part 💳, it got… complicated. Picture this: 30 people, each family paying for a different amount, in a charming farmhouse 🌾 serving local produce with an old-school vibe. No modern payment methods in sight to accomodate all of us. 🤔 Working at DoubleP, where our mission is a Cashless Future, moments like this make me reflect on how challenging payments can still be in certain settings, especially those deeply rooted in tradition and local culture. 💡 How do we involve these realities in the journey towards a cashless future? How can technology meet them halfway while respecting their uniqueness? Curious to hear your thoughts! 💬 #CashlessFuture #Innovation #DigitalPayments #TraditionMeetsInnovation #FamilyTime #Payments
