About Blink Pay
Make money movement feel simple, familiar and safe for everyday users, merchants, groups and informal transactions.
Problem
People use cash, EFTs, payment links, banking apps, WhatsApp screenshots, informal reminders and have to wait on banking delays with large startup costs. Merchants and friend groups need one cleaner layer for requesting, tracking and settling payments, instant.
Approach
Wallet view, instant pay, payment requests, split pay, debt settlement and clean transaction history. Then integrate regulated rails through the right licensed partners when moving beyond simulation.
Founding team

Co-founder & CEO
Mohamed Asmall · CEO
Coming from an engineering background, then starting and running his own business, Mohamed encountered first-hand the payment friction facing South African businesses. He founded Blink Pay to solve those issues — reducing cost and complexity for merchants and every individual South African.

Product flow
A software-first payment experience built around Instant Pay, Wallet Movement, QR Codes, Manual Requests, Split Expenses, Clean Settlement and Reporting.
Customer scans a QR code, or the user or merchant manually enters an amount, reference and recipient.
The payer confirms the request using the app flow or future payment rail integration.
The dashboard shows transaction history, pending debts and wallet movement.
Users settle balances without manual reminders or screenshots.
Blink Pay is being designed around clear consent, minimal data collection and responsible handling of personal information. This page is a practical privacy notice for the public landing site and early access interest form.
Blink Pay is an early-stage South African fintech concept. For privacy questions, access requests, correction requests, deletion requests or withdrawal of consent, reach out through the general contact channel below. The team will route POPIA-related matters to the right founder or responsible person.
We process information to respond to enquiries, manage the waitlist, understand pilot/investor interest, improve the product concept, maintain site security and prepare for future regulated payment integration discussions.
We do not sell personal information. We only share information with service providers or advisers where necessary to operate the site, manage communications, assess the product or comply with legal obligations. Early access/contact records are retained only for as long as reasonably needed for those purposes, unless a longer period is legally required.
You may request access to your personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion where legally appropriate, objection to processing, or withdrawal of consent for optional communications.
For any POPIA-related access, correction, deletion, objection or consent questions, reach out via contactus@blinkpay.co.za and include “POPIA” in the subject.
We aim to use proportionate technical and organisational safeguards, including access control, secure hosting practices, encrypted transport where supported, limited collection and restricted internal access.
Blink Pay is founded and owned by two Indian South African founders. Formal B-BBEE verification and certification should be completed before any procurement or enterprise-supplier-development process that requires a certificate.
Blink Pay is currently a concept / POC unless otherwise stated in a signed agreement. The public site should not be read as confirmation that Blink Pay is a licensed bank, payment clearing participant or regulated financial services provider. Live-money payment flows would require the correct licensed partners, legal review and regulatory alignment.
