Web

Pay a link on any rail, pick up an invite that knows who sent it, and run your business account as the business.

Payment links

  • Pay by card or offline EFT , with a guest flow that needs no account.
  • Pay a crypto link on the web — claim it, see a live quote, scan the QR.
  • A link that cannot be paid says so , instead of offering to pay it.

Invites

  • The invite landing leads with the person who welcomed you , and partner campaigns have their own landing pages.
  • The referral code you arrived with is submitted , so the referral is attributed to whoever invited you.

Business accounts

  • Receiving always uses the business's own payment details when a business is active — its own 88Pay ID on Receive, its own deposit reference when funding the wallet, and its PayID on your Pay Profile.
  • Withdraw to the business's own bank account , and add one as the business.
  • Raise and read support tickets as the business , with the member who raised each one shown.

Buying and selling

  • Quick Buy and Advanced are separate modes , so the simple path stays simple and the detail is there when you want it.
  • Placing a limit order carries a per-placement key , so a retry cannot place it twice.

Receiving crypto

  • A first-time receive that fails explains itself and offers a retry , instead of leaving you with no address and no reason.

The look, and the fixes

  • Onboarding, Stacks and the card surface rebuilt on the 2.5 design.
  • The loading screen is an animated wordmark rather than a video, so it appears instantly and costs far less to load.
  • A buy showed no rand and a sell showed no coin — both now show what you would expect.
  • Support is honest. The chat panel that went nowhere is gone, and your tickets update while you watch them.
  • Signing in is steadier — no flash of the wrong screen, saved passwords fill in properly, and enrolling your browser as a device works.
  • Your browser is a device you can recognise in your device list.
  • A half-finished sign-in no longer lingers — it expires, and signing out clears it.

Web push

  • The web app can subscribe to push , so a notification can reach you in the browser. Nothing is sent until it is switched on.
Web

Sharing your Pay Profile from a business account now shares the business's PayID, not your personal one.

Business accounts

  • Pay Profile shows the business. With a business selected, the Pay Profile card under Send shows the business's name and PayID, its QR encodes that PayID, and the share text names the business. Personal accounts are unchanged.
Web

The web security review closed end to end, a move to hardened sessions, card pay-in and request-to-pay.

Security and privacy

  • A full set of security headers now ships with the web app — strict transport security with subdomain coverage, cross-origin isolation, a permissions policy, a referrer policy, and content-type and framing protections. A content-security policy runs in report-only mode first, so it can be tuned against real traffic before it enforces.
  • Sessions moved to hardened, browser-protected cookies. The browser no longer holds a bearer token: sign-in tokens, invite tokens and two-factor enrolment secrets no longer sit in browser storage, the address bar or the clipboard. One HTTP client, one authentication policy, every confirmation surface migrated — this is the load-bearing change in the release.
  • Only the headers we intend reach the platform , on an explicit deny list written so a later change cannot quietly readmit one.
  • Third-party tag management is gone from the signed-in app , with the content-security policy tightened accordingly.
  • Security requirements fail closed. An unresolved requirement now blocks rather than passes, no source maps ship to production, off-origin navigation from a notification is refused, and the redirect guard and identity-verification SDK load are both hardened.
  • Every finding from the review is closed , with automated code scanning, secret scanning and a blocking dependency-audit gate now running on every change.

Payments

  • Consumer card pay-in — the payment methods enabled for you at checkout, a grouped funding chooser, real card and wallet marks, and settlement timing per rail. A refusal is scoped to that attempt rather than ending the whole flow.
  • Request-to-pay — send a request, see your inbox, approve or decline.
  • PayLinks match the Business PayLinks design , the list pages properly rather than silently truncating, and someone with no account and no app can pay a link in the browser.

Speed

  • A faster start. The app no longer waits on two sequential sign-in calls before it begins loading your main screen, and the entry bundle is roughly 29% smaller. Content-hashed assets are served immutably instead of being revalidated on every visit.

Also

  • Settings and Support rebuilt , with Support reachable before your verification completes.
  • Signing out propagates across tabs.
  • A render error is caught instead of white-screening the app.
  • Document upload no longer strands you. Your documents had always uploaded; a follow-on internal record could fail and leave you stuck on the step. Fixed.
  • Paying a link without an account works — an anonymous payer is no longer bounced to the sign-in screen.
Web

Live market data on the web, and a parallel rebuild of the app on the new design system.

2.4.0 follows 2.2.0 — 2.3.0 was a platform-only access-control release with no web changes — so every 80eight product converges on one version number.

Markets

  • Live market data with intraday charts , and FX rates on the rebuilt surface.
  • An empty rates feed is shown, not hidden. The Rates panel used to disappear when the feed had nothing in it; an empty feed is a state worth showing rather than a reason to vanish.

The new design, running on live data

  • A parallel rebuild of the web app on the 2.5 design system — design primitives first, then the shell, sidebar, navigation and right rail, then the account, payments and product screens, all running against live APIs. AutoStack, ZAR8, PayLinks and Digital POS are live there; Spend and Cards are previews.
  • A full mobile and tablet pass , with the responsive layer moved off inline styles and the wordmark now vector.
  • Fixed along the way — business switching, ZAR8 yield, the deposit reference, navigation layering, cashier-mode kiosk takeover, tablet rail width and PayLinks layout.

Circles

  • Circles arrives behind a flag , ahead of a gradual rollout.

Also

  • Signup attribution is sent on every path , including social sign-in.
  • Android app links verify correctly , so an 80eight link opens the app as intended.
Web

A bigger release for getting paid, trading with clarity, and running your business on 80eight.

Web 2.2.0 brings a redesigned PayLinks creation flow, a richer trading and markets experience, and a smoother path through business verification — plus a steady stream of reliability and accuracy improvements underneath.

Getting paid with PayLinks

  • Rebuilt create flow. A cleaner, shape-first wizard makes it faster to spin up a link and choose exactly how it should behave.
  • Unlimited and never-expiring links. Create links that stay open with no cap and no expiry, for the times a one-off link isn't enough.
  • Payment goals and direct requests. A goal thermometer shows progress toward a target, and direct-request links open straight to a clean pay-me landing page.
  • Clearer link management. A dedicated options step, a "Total received" summary, a payer roster, and the ability to decline a request give you more control over every link.
  • Right assets only. The create wizard now hides crypto that can't actually be used to pay, so you only offer what recipients can send.

Trading & markets

  • Candlestick charts. Switch any asset chart to a candlestick view, with your own buy and sell markers plotted right on the timeline.
  • Your chart, remembered. Web now keeps your preferred chart type across sessions, so it looks the way you left it.
  • Price alerts and order updates. A shared price-alert dialog and clearer order-cancellation feedback keep you informed, backed by proper order notifications.
  • More accurate pricing. Quotes now reflect the direction-correct market leg, so the price you're quoted matches the side of the trade you're making.

Business Suite & verification

  • Pending applications, with a way out. Business owners can see business-account applications that are still in review and cancel a request they no longer need.
  • Smoother verification. Business onboarding now collects company country for verification, wires up director KYC and consent, and surfaces clearer guidance when an address lookup or a required field is holding up the business-details step.

Assets & account

  • Actions that match each asset. Every asset surface now respects per-asset capability flags, so you only see the actions an asset genuinely supports.
  • Sharper asset visuals. Asset icons resolve from the live catalogue, ZAR8 shows its official coin logo, and any icon that fails to load falls back to a tidy lettered circle instead of a broken image.
  • Cleaner ZAR8 details. Yield rewards now reflect the active reward-asset configuration, and a service charge that was never actually applied no longer appears on ZAR8.
  • Payment security foundations. A new Payment Security area in settings lays the groundwork for personal step-up preferences, rolling out gradually.
  • Friendlier sign-in. Logging in now lands you on your personal account instead of jumping straight into a business context, and password reset behaves correctly for social sign-in accounts.

Behind the scenes

  • Presence signal. A lightweight, visible-tab heartbeat powers a more accurate online status.
  • Money accuracy. Amount formatting now rounds down consistently, and a new money-endpoint parity check keeps web quotes aligned with the rest of the platform.
  • Reliability. A hardened test pipeline and corrected app-link configuration make releases and deep links more dependable.
Web

Business accounts, business verification, and a cleaner money experience on the web.

This web release centres on the new Business Suite foundations and a full business-verification flow, alongside clearer trading and a consistent money-formatting pass across the app.

What's new

  • Business Suite — foundations. Team management, roles and permissions, and business onboarding are now on the web (rolling out).
  • Business verification. A full, in-app business KYB/KYC verification flow.

Improvements

  • Clearer trading & rates. Buy and sell rates now reflect the price you'll actually receive.
  • Cleaner money display. A consistent pass across balances, amounts, and transaction details — correct currencies, precise values, and clearer receipts throughout.

Security & trust

  • More reliable sign-in and session handling, so a brief hiccup no longer logs you out.
Web

Purchase amounts in your transaction history now show exactly what you paid.

Fixed

  • Correct purchase amounts in history. A past "Bought" row now shows the exact amount paid rather than a recalculated figure that could read slightly high. Applied across the transaction list, the all-transactions view, the single-transaction detail and business-suite rows.

(Display only — your balances and the trades themselves were always correct.)

Web

Safer payments, and withdrawal fees you can trust to the cent.

A reliability-and-safety release for the personal web app: every money action is now protected against accidental double-submits, and the withdrawal screen shows the real, live fee instead of a fixed estimate.

Stronger safeguards & security

  • Safer payments. Sending, withdrawing, and buying are now protected against accidental double-submits — a quick double-tap or a retried request can't move your money twice.
  • Hardened account management. Fixes to password reset, two-factor settings, anti-phishing, and PIN verification, plus a tighter guard on the trade-confirmation screen.

Smoother & faster

  • Accurate withdrawal fees. The withdrawal screen now shows the actual fee from the live quote — and the exact amount you'll receive — instead of a fixed estimate.
  • Clearer notifications. Improved display for business, account, and PIN-reset notifications.
  • Invite improvements. Your referral code now shows on the Invite screen, matching the mobile app.

(Coming soon: business tools — Business Suite, Pay Links, and in-store payments — continue to be hardened behind the scenes and will switch on for eligible accounts in a future update.)

Web

A quieter release that keeps everything consistent under the hood.

A small maintenance update with no changes to features or how you use 80eight — just behind-the-scenes consistency and reliability improvements.

Under the hood

  • Tidied data handling. Standardised how your account reference is read across the app and removed a piece of legacy code, with no change to anything you'll see or do.
Web

A faster, re-engineered 80eight web — and now you can 88Pay anyone.

This release rebuilds the 80eight web app on a modern, more secure foundation and adds new ways to pay, see your balances, and get verified — with bigger things on the way.

What's new

  • 88Pay to anyone. Send to any phone number — even someone who isn't on 80eight yet. They'll receive your payment and can claim it as soon as they sign up.
  • See balances your way. Choose your display currency (USD or ZAR) across your wallet and the market, with your preference remembered between visits.
  • Smoother identity verification. A more flexible verification experience that supports an additional provider, so getting verified is faster and more reliable.
  • Cleaner buy and sell. More accurate balances and pricing, with sensible fallbacks when market data is briefly unavailable — plus a tidier transaction history and quality-of-life polish across the app.

Stronger safeguards & security

  • Hardened account security. Strengthened account and data protection across payments and wallets, including stronger two-factor protection on sensitive actions.
  • A modern foundation. Re-engineered on a fully-typed TypeScript codebase and the v2 platform, with expanded automated testing and new, more reliable hosting.

Coming soon

  • Business Suite. Dedicated business accounts and wallets.
  • Accept payments. In-store point-of-sale and shareable payment links, with scan-to-pay.
  • Business ZAR8 yield. Earn yield on your business ZAR8.

(These are not yet switched on — watch this space.)
