"driven by a passion to develop digital solutions", except don't expect to COMMUNICATE with us !

As a client of Payfast, I would expect a bare minimum service level. After logging into https://www.payfast.io it's not unreasonable to expect a contact us feature - but there is none, nice going Payfast. "Payfast is Network International’s leading online payment processing solution for individuals, NPOs and businesses of all sizes in South Africa. As Network, our collective vision is to strengthen our local offering by providing access to global expertise, resources and capabilities – enabling businesses and consumers with the fastest, most frictionless payment experience possible." Really ?! without providing the ability for your client to contact you ?!?!?!!?!!? Thanks for sending me an email, with the reply address <***> Keep it up, your passion to develop digital solutions is amazing !!

Dear Payfast

Somebody called me and tried to assist me telephonically, but could not. So, she transferred me to somebody else, who could also not assist - this continued another 2 more times !
Have you not heard of EMAIL ?!?!
If you have a passion to develop digital solutions, please google "email" and you will find that the entire world is using it, even those who do not have a passion to develop digital solutions...
I am expecting for my query to be resolved via email !

Hi Vick,

Thanks again for your feedback and sincere apologies for the back and forth. This isn’t the experience we want our clients to have.

We’ve followed up again with the relevant team and flagged your request for urgent handling via email, as you’ve asked. Someone will be in touch directly shortly to assist further.Thanks for your patience while we work to resolve this.

You rep**** to me on 17/6/2025 flagging my request for urgent handling via email....
Someone will be in touch directly shortly...
1. What is your definition of "urgent" ?
2. What is your definition of "shortly" ?
If this "isn't the experience you want your clients to have" ? then do you want them to have a WORSE experience , cos this is getting ridiculous !?!?!?
