80eight App — v2.2.0
A sharper App: clearer markets, faster PayLinks, stronger business accounts, and money confirmations you can trust.
This release makes the everyday moments feel effortless — reading a chart, splitting a bill, opening a business account, confirming a payment. It also lays the groundwork for a wave of new capabilities that will switch on gradually as we roll them out.
Markets & your portfolio
- New candlestick charts. Switch between line and candlestick views on any asset, and your App remembers the chart style you prefer for next time.
- Your trades, right on the chart. Buy and sell markers now sit directly on the price chart so you can see your activity in context.
- Honest numbers. Portfolio values, cost basis, and profit-and-loss are read straight from the source — no placeholder zeros, no stale figures, and clearer precision on chart labels.
- One unified asset page. Home and Digital Wallet now share the same polished asset screen, scoped correctly to the account you're viewing.
PayLinks
- A faster way to create a link. The create flow is shorter and shape-first — fewer screens to get from idea to shareable link — with support for unlimited-use and never-expiring links.
- Pay real people, instantly. Pull straight from your device contacts with one shared picker across requests, group collects, and splits, including search by phone number and an A–Z invite list.
- A clearer requests view. The home Requests card shows who's asking and how much, and your history now includes the links you've paid — not just the ones you created.
- Group collects & goals. Collect from a group, track progress toward a goal, and decline or settle requests cleanly, with safeguards so a payment is never double-counted.
Business accounts
- A smoother path to opening one. Business onboarding and verification were rebuilt end to end — clearer director steps, in-app identity verification, address search scoped to your country, and an optional business logo.
- Land where you expect. After submitting a business application you go straight to your dashboard, and pending applications now show up with the option to cancel.
- Verification that stays inside the App. Identity checks run in a secure in-app view rather than bouncing you out to a browser, with clearer status and retry.
Payment security
- A refreshed confirm experience. Confirming a payment now uses a smoother, more accurate biometric prompt and a silky, paste-friendly code entry across every money flow.
- See problems sooner. If a balance is too low, the App tells you before you reach the confirmation step — no dead ends.
- Extra protection, rolling out gradually. A new Payment Security screen where eligible accounts will be able to turn on stronger sign-in for sensitive actions, with a trusted-device window. It arrives progressively rather than switching on for everyone at once.
Getting verified & approvals
- A clearer approval flow. Identity-verification approvals now open the right screen from a notification, show live status, and finish on a proper success screen — rolling out gradually.
ZAR8 (early access)
- Foundations for ZAR8, rolling out gradually. Early ZAR8 experiences — including yield tracking, a cleaner Track overview, and yield history — are being introduced to a limited group as we roll them out. Availability expands over time.
Help & alerts (coming soon)
- In-app help. Consumer support tickets, an FAQ, and chat-style ticket history — including ratings and reopen — are rolling out gradually.
- Price alerts & order updates. Price alerts and live order updates for limit orders near execution are being introduced progressively.
Behind the scenes
- Steadier, more consistent pricing. Money quotes for send, withdraw, and 88Pay now come from one authoritative source, so pricing is consistent across the App. Trades are still re-priced at execution and protected by slippage limits, so the final rate can differ slightly from the quote you saw.
- A calmer launch and smoother navigation. We fixed a rare launch crash, kept background splash video silent so it never interrupts audio, removed the white flash between screens, and repaired dead close/back buttons across the App.
- Fewer surprises. Notifications no longer leak across account switches, and a range of layout, keyboard, and safe-area issues were cleaned up throughout.
