This segment also offers payment of social welfare grants, debit orders, and wages; point of sale spending; distribution of medicine; money transfers; prepayment of utility bills and mobile phone airtime; and transaction fees. The Smart Card Accounts segment provides smart card accounts, which primarily consist of social welfare grant beneficiaries to its card holders. The Financial Services segment facilitates short-term loans and life insurance products to the card holders through the smart card delivery channel. The Hardware, Software, and Related Technology Sales segment offers hardware and software required to implement its UEPS system, as well as develops and provides prism secure transaction technology, solutions, and services.
