Bad service

I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received from PayFast.

For more than three weeks, my account verification has not been resolved, and as a result, I have been unable to receive my payout. During this period, I have made numerous calls, sent emails, opened support tickets, and followed escalation processes – yet the issue remains unresolved.

Each time I contact support, I am required to re-explain my situation to a different consultant, who assures me the matter will be escalated and resolved. Unfortunately, these assurances have not resulted in any meaningful progress.

This delay has had a direct negative impact on my business, as I have been unable to pay service providers following my recent event. Waiting over three weeks for an account verification to be completed is unacceptable and highly unprofessional for a payment platform entrusted with handling business funds.

At this point, I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with the lack of urgency and accountability demonstrated. Based on my current experience, I would not recommend PayFast to others.

I urgently request immediate resolution of this matter and release of my payout without any further delays.

This has still not been resolved to date. It’s already the end of another week and when I called I am told that they will contact me maybe on Monday . Similarly I had to tell my story again .
