Hi so firstly my original question was asking if you can verify that the merchant OLITO is trustworthy because they has a system that lets you use debit cards for payments but I am hesitant to trust it because it is third party. Either verify formally that he is legit or shutdown his service if it is taking peoples money with your business name on it! Ideally I'd like this to go higher because based on the research I did our cards have all the needed characteristics to work with online shopping and Standard Bank is needlessly withholding it. This is a STUDENT ACCOUNT and the fact is that younger people are more willing to make online transactions than older generations. In china and india they recognise this and are pushing to go cashless meanwhile here you have the audacity to have an account that doesn't let you purchase online. This is a chance for standard bank to make more money from fees and it seems senseless that you don't have this basic service people WANT. To everyone else in the thread, takealot uses Payfast with EFT so you can use that (I have and havent had a problem) on a number of sites. For overseas purchases you can get the Luno wallet and buy bitcoin with EFT and then use that. Its insane that we need to use intermediary services to get this basic service to work (which obviously can)
