You just enter a code without first inserting a card into the ATM? Does not sound right to me. Any case, I bank with Standard.

Yes, I know!

Choose the amount of money to withdraw. Make sure that either your transaction has ended or that you press 'cancel' before leaving the ATM.

Sure sounds like no card involved. But complicated to an illiterate. What about my letter idea?

I don't know why that couldn't work. It seems to overcomplicate it a bit, but should cover all the angles. Of couse it will work fine until challenged at some stage.

Yep no card required. This is how you can send cash to anyone anywhere in the country who does not have a bank account.

Agreed, welcome to the new world I suppose.

Letter should work.

I don't think you're legally obliged to but can you not send a dependable trustworthy person to deliver the wage to him and get sign-off.

I can do this myself and I am considering it already. Will be the least hassle in any case. Just worried I will set a president.

You can protect yourself by noting the particular circumstances of every case and where you feel the employee is capable of collecting insist they do. I think its fair to say that any employee will collect whats due to them if they are able to, so its only those in a real jam that wont.

Will do that.

I dont know if you still have an issue with paying the employee. I think recently Absa has launched mobile app called halo pay and you can do cashsend using that app. Try it and let me know if it works for you.
