Payfacs charge 2.95%+ because they profit from every sale. Nexo negotiates direct bank rates — often under 1% on debit. For most businesses, the savings cover the software.
Most SA payment providers use the payfac model — they sit between your bank and your customer, adding their margin on top of the bank's base rate. That 2.95–3.5% isn't just a bank fee. It's the bank rate plus their profit.
Nexo negotiates direct agreements with South African banks. No middleman. No payfac markup. Direct rates — typically under 1% on debit transactions.

"We were on a payfac for three years and just accepted the fees as the cost of doing business. nexo showed us we were losing R18,000 every month for no reason. Setup took one afternoon — we were live by dinner."
"The offline mode alone was worth switching. Connectivity issues used to cost us R3,000–R5,000 in lost sales a month. Now we keep trading — nexo queues everything and syncs the moment we're back online. It's bulletproof."
"Inventory, CRM, and POS in one dashboard changed how I manage three locations. I used to spend Monday mornings reconciling three separate systems. Now it just arrives in my inbox every morning at 8am."
"We were paying R530,000 a month in payfac fees and software costs. When we did the maths, we realised we could build something better. That's literally why Nexo exists."
