Added services
- Customers can get added value by sending vouchers straight to Money Market accounts or Xtra Savings cards, in which case the voucher never expires and can be used to buy additional pre-paid services.
- Entry Ninja, the preferred platform for race entries, launched a self-service event ticketing platform for event organisers. The platform gives organisers access to the Group’s customer base and provides customers with the option of booking their tickets online or purchasing in-store, paying cash.
- Computicket recently launched an innovative new offering called Box Office to make its service more accessible and affordable to organisers of smaller events.
Virtual grocery vouchers
The COVID-19 pandemic did not only pose a threat to South African consumers’ safety, but also left many communities in South Africa destitute and in need of food and basic goods. In reaction to these needs, the Group launched virtual grocery vouchers in 2020. These vouchers are bought electronically and sent straight to the recipient’s cellphone, allowing customers to assist those in need remotely.
Vouchers can be bought online via Computicket or in-store. Upon receiving the voucher, it can be redeemed immediately at any Checkers, Checkers Hyper, Shoprite or Usave stores nationwide – there is no waiting period.
