Your finances are a key part of your daily life, and managing them shouldn’t feel like an extra task. That’s why Mama Money has partnered with Pick n Pay to bring banking closer to where life happens. With the Mama Money Card, you can take care of important financial needs, like sending money or managing your salary, while doing something as familiar as shopping for groceries.
This partnership is about more than convenience. It is also about creating a service that works for you. Now available at selected Pick n Pay stores in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban, the Mama Money Card helps you make the most of your time and resources, all in one stop.
We all value time, especially when life is busy. With the Mama Money Card available at Pick n Pay, you don’t need to visit a separate bank or wait in queues. You can take care of your groceries and your financial needs in one visit, right at the till.
Getting your card is simple. Visit a participating Pick n Pay, ask for the Mama Money Card at the Money Market counter or till, and complete the registration using your SA ID, passport, or asylum or refugee documentation.
If you’re not sure where to go, you can use the Mama Money Card locator to find your nearest Pick n Pay or agent.
The Mama Money Card is more than just a way to pay. It’s a tool designed for real people, living real lives. Created in partnership with Access Bank, it opens the door to everyday financial freedom, especially for people who don’t have easy access to traditional banking.
With this card, you can:
You don’t need a bank account or stacks of documents. Your ID or passport is all it takes, and you’ll be ready in just a few minutes.

We know that every rand counts. That’s why the Mama Money Card is designed to be affordable and transparent, with no unexpected charges.
The card costs a once-off R99 to purchase, with a monthly account fee of R25. If you’re a new customer, your first month is free.
You can even send money at any Pick n Pay till point, making your weekly shop even more productive.
Mama Money also gives you a simple way to support your family and friends abroad. You can send money from South Africa to over 70 countries, including Zimbabwe, Kenya, India, Uganda, and Pakistan. The process is quick and transparent, and you can pay for your transfer at the Pick n Pay till just like any other purchase.
