No Cash on Me

This is the part that matters most.

If you work on the street, you know the danger.

You finish late. You are tired. You have cash in your pocket. Someone knows it. Someone follows you.

Not any more.

With iKofi, you put up a QR code. People scan it. They tip you. The money goes straight to your phone. Straight to your account.

You carry nothing.

"I don't carry cash. Scan the code."

Put it on your board. Put it on your shirt. Put it on your case. Make it normal. Make it safe.

  • ✓ No cash in your pocket
  • ✓ No cash in your bag
  • ✓ No cash in your guitar case
  • ✓ No cash in your tin
  • ✓ Nothing for anyone to take

Your QR code is your till. Your phone is your pocket. Your money is safe.

How It Works on the Street

  1. You put up your QR code. On a board. On a card. On your case. On your table. On your vest.
  2. People scan it. With their phone camera. No app needed.
  3. They tip you. Card, phone, or bank. In rands. Straight to you.
  4. You carry nothing. Go home safe.
