How do I view my previous VALR pay transactions?
VALR Pay transactions will show up in the transaction history of your VALR account. Click on a particular transaction record to see further details including who you paid, recipient message and personal note.
Does the person I'm paying have to have a VALR account before I pay them?
No. Anyone not on VALR will receive an email or sms informing them of your payment and inviting them to sign up to VALR for free to claim the payment. They will need to sign up and become fully verified with 72 hours to claim the payment, otherwise the payment will be reversed.
How do I fund my VALR account?
You can fund your VALR account with an EFT from any South African bank. Please go to your wallets page on the app or the website for further instruction on how to deposit ZAR into your account.
Is there a cap on VALR Pay payments?
Individual payments are capped at R50,000 per payment right now. There is no cap on the number of payments that can be made using VALR Pay.
What happens to unclaimed payments?
Payments to a person who is not yet a fully verified VALR customer remain unclaimed until the receiver completes registration with VALR. If a payment is not claimed within 72 hours, the transaction is reversed. Transaction reversals will appear in the sender's transaction history as a reversal with relevant details of the attempted payment.
