Frequently Asked Questions
What payment methods do you support?
We support EFT (bank transfer), credit/debit cards via Payfast, and SnapScan. Donors can optionally cover processing fees so 100% goes to the group. Payouts are made directly to South African bank accounts or FNB eWallet
Can I try before committing?
Absolutely! Friend is free forever, and Member+ includes a free trial. For organisations, we offer personalized demos to show you exactly how it works for your use case.
What's the difference between a Group and a Collective?
A Group is a single giving circle with its friends and members. A Collective is an umbrella organisation that manages multiple Groups—perfect for companies, churches, or nonprofits with regional chapters.
Do you offer NPO/NGO discounts?
Yes! We offer special pricing for registered non-profits. Contact us to learn more about our NPO programme.
Is this like a stokvel?
Common Change shares the spirit of stokvels—community members pooling resources to help each other. The difference is that funds go toward needs as they arise rather than rotating. Think of it as a stokvel focused on mutual aid rather than savings.
