Latest comment: 2 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Payfast. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 1603 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Remember to set the |answered= parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input.

I am a paid contributor (see disclosure above: employed by Rogerwilco on behalf of Payfast). I'm requesting the following updates, all supported by independent sources where available. I will not edit the article myself.

1. History – please replace the last sentence of the section:

Current: Three years later, the former's payments platform was rebranded to Payfast by Network.

Proposed: In January 2023, Payfast was consolidated with sister companies PayGate and SiD Secure EFT under Network International's ownership, with the PayGate and SiD brands retired.^[1]^[2] In May 2024, the company rebranded as Network International, with its payments platform continuing under the name Payfast by Network.^[3] In September 2024, Network International was acquired by a consortium led by Brookfield Asset Management.^[4]^[5]

2. Infobox – please fill in the empty key_people field:

| key_people = Mpho Sadiki (Managing Director)^[6]^[7]

3. Please add a short Services section before "See also":

== Services ==

Payfast's platform supports card payments, Instant EFT, QR-code payment apps such as SnapScan and Zapper, and buy-now-pay-later options including MoreTyme and Mobicred.^[8] Since 2021, it has offered Easy Advance, a merchant cash advance product launched in partnership with Retail Capital and later offered with TymeBank.^[9]^[10]

4. Minor fix – reference date:

The Ventureburn reference "Payfast rebrand brings PayGate and SiD under one roof" (used in the lead) is dated 15 September 2025, but the article was published in January 2023, as its URL shows. Please change date= 15 September 2025 to date= January 2023.

Happy to answer any questions or adjust wording. JokeemRW (talk) 07:20, 10 November 2026 (UTC)Reply
