Sometimes, it is necessary to send money to your friend or loved one urgently – and knowing how to do a Standard Bank immediate payment on the app therefore becomes important.
Fortunately, this information is readily available. This article provides a simple and straightforward guide on sending cash urgently from the Standard Bank app in South Africa.
How to do a Standard Bank immediate payment on the app
To do a Standard Bank immediate payment, log in to your mobile app and then tap “Transact” on the home screen. Next, tap “Pay.”
Next, find the beneficiary you wish to make an immediate payment to and tap “Pay” on the right side of the beneficiary’s name. If you’re paying someone for the first time, tap “Somebody new” on the top left corner of the screen to add their account details.
Next, choose the account you wish to pay from and then enter the amount you wish to pay. The next important step is to tap on the toggle next to “Immediate payment.” Make sure it’s switched to the right so that the payment is immediate.
Enter additional payment details such as the reference for you and the recipient as well as proof of payment (if you wish to send one). Next, tap on the “Review” button on the top right of the app’s screen to proceed.
The app will now display the transaction’s full details, including the amount and the recipient’s banking details. Make sure every detail is correct because reversing an immediate payment is usually difficult – or even impossible if the recipient withdraws the funds.
Once you’ve confirmed that everything is in order, tap “Confirm” on the top right of the app’s screen. You will then receive a one-time PIN (OTP) on your cellphone. Enter this OTP on the app to finalise your Standard Bank immediate payment.
Last word
And voila – that’s how to do immediate payment on Standard Bank app. Always make sure you enter the correct details, especially the recipient’s account number, to avoid sending money to the wrong person.
