QR code payments have been around for years, but they’re still a fairly new concept. They’re easy to implement because you just need a phone or tablet with a camera to scan the code. But they have the potential to be much more than a simple payment mechanism. They can also be used to share information, to make a purchase in an online store, or to get to a particular place or thing.

Masterpass from Absa is a payment app for Mastercard. It’s an application that allows you to pay online, in stores, and in other venues by scanning QR codes. With it, you can pay using any bank card for more secure and convenient transactions.
