Asiyen Enterprise (Pty) Ltd ("Asiyen", "we", "us") is committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).
This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and what rights you have. It covers the Asiyen mobile application and this website.
Information We Collect
When you open an account
Your mobile number β used to create your account and to verify you by one-time password (OTP)
Your name
Device information β used for security and fraud prevention
When you verify your identity
Verification is required before you can hold a balance above R1 000, deposit more than R2 000 in any 30-day period, or withdraw more than R1 000 at once. To verify you, we collect:
Your identity document type and number (South African ID or passport)
Your date of birth
A photograph of your identity document
A photograph of yourself, to confirm the document belongs to you
When you are paid out (Merchant and Agent accounts only)
Your bank, your branch code, and your bank account number
Customer accounts cannot withdraw to a bank account, and we do not collect banking details from them. How we handle these details is set out separately below.
Withdrawing money as a Customer
Withdrawals to a bank account are available to Merchant and Agent accounts only. A Customer account can spend its wallet balance on fares, transfers, vouchers, airtime and data, but cannot pay it out to a bank.
This does not mean your money is locked in. If you decide to close your Customer account while there is still money in your wallet, contact us at admin@asiyen.com and we will return the remaining balance to you. Your wallet balance belongs to you.
As you use Asiyen
Your transaction history β payments, top-ups, withdrawals, transfers, voucher redemptions and airtime purchases
The mobile number you send airtime or data to, which may belong to someone else
Reports you make to us, including payment disputes and complaints about an agent
If you order stickers by post
Your shipping address
The proof of payment you upload
Why We Collect It
To create and operate your wallet, and to carry out the transactions you instruct β we need this information to provide the service you have asked for
To verify your identity, and to meet our obligations under South African financial and anti-money-laundering law
To pay withdrawals into your bank account
To detect, investigate and prevent fraud and misuse
To provide customer support and resolve disputes
We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell it.
Your Banking Details
We treat banking details as narrowly as we can while still being able to pay you.
We store your full bank account number only in encrypted form. The encryption key is held separately from our database, so the stored number cannot be read from the database alone. It is decrypted only at the moment a payout is sent to our payment provider.
Your full account number is encrypted before it leaves our systems and is passed to our payment provider solely to make the payment. Each payout uses its own encryption key.
Your banking details cannot be changed directly from the app in the way ordinary profile information can. Changes go through a controlled process, so that someone who gains access to your device cannot quietly redirect your money to another account.
You may withdraw only to a bank account held in your own name.
Your Identity Documents
Photographs of your identity document and of yourself are held in private storage. They are not published, not shared for any purpose other than verifying you, and not accessible from a public link.
When a member of our staff reviews your verification, the system creates a temporary link that expires after a few minutes, and records who accessed your documents and when. That record cannot be edited or deleted.
Who We Share Your Information With
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only where it is necessary to provide the service:
Ozow β our payment provider, to process deposits into your wallet and to pay withdrawals into your bank account
SIMcloud β to deliver airtime and data to the mobile number you specify
MessageBird β to send your OTP verification codes by SMS
Supabase β our hosting provider, which stores our data on our behalf
Paxi β the courier, where you have ordered stickers by post
We may also disclose information where the law requires it, including to a court, a regulator, or a law-enforcement authority acting under lawful authority.
Where Your Information Is Stored
Our data is hosted on Supabase servers located in the European Union (Ireland). This means your personal information is transferred outside South Africa. The European Union has data-protection laws that provide a level of protection substantially similar to POPIA. Data is encrypted in transit using TLS.
How Long We Keep It
Transaction records are kept for at least five years, as South African financial law requires.
Identity verification records are kept for at least five years after your account closes, for the same reason.
Banking details are kept while your account is open and you may still be paid out. You can ask us to remove them at any time; doing so means we cannot pay you until you provide them again.
Other account information is kept while your account is active.
Where the law requires us to keep a record, we cannot delete it on request β but we will tell you when that is the case and why.
Your Rights Under POPIA
You have the right to:
Ask what personal information we hold about you, and receive a copy of it
Ask us to correct information that is wrong or out of date
Ask us to delete your account and your information, subject to the retention periods above
Object to how we are processing your information
Complain to us, and to the Information Regulator
To exercise any of these rights, email admin@asiyen.com. We will respond as soon as we reasonably can, and in any event within the period the law allows.
Keeping Your Account Secure
Your PIN is never stored in a readable form and is never checked on your phone β it is verified on our servers, so that a modified app cannot bypass it. You are responsible for keeping your PIN and your device secure. Tell us immediately if you believe someone has accessed your account.
If Something Goes Wrong
If personal information under our control is accessed or acquired by an unauthorised person, we will notify you and the Information Regulator as POPIA requires.
Children
Asiyen is not for people under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we learn that we hold information about a child, we will delete it.
Cookies
The Asiyen mobile app does not use cookies. This website does not set analytics or advertising cookies.
Complaints
Please raise any concern with us first at admin@asiyen.com so we can put it right. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the Information Regulator:

Changes To This Policy
We may update this policy. Where a change materially affects you, we will tell you in the app or by SMS before it takes effect. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.

These terms govern your use of the Asiyen mobile application and related services operated by Asiyen Enterprise (Pty) Ltd ("Asiyen", "we", "us"), a company registered in the Republic of South Africa. By creating an account you agree to these terms.
1. Who may use Asiyen
You must be at least 18 years old.
You must register using a South African mobile number registered in your own name (RICA).
You may hold only one account. Accounts are personal and may not be transferred.
You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date.
2. Account roles
Asiyen accounts are one of three types:
Customer — loads funds and pays fares, sends money, and buys airtime or data.
Merchant — receives fare payments through an assigned QR sticker and may withdraw earnings to a bank account.
Agent — sells stickers and vouchers, activates merchants, and earns commission under a separate agent agreement.
3. Verification and limits
Accounts begin with entry-level limits. To hold a balance above R1 000, deposit more than R2 000 in any 30-day period, or withdraw more than R1 000 at once, you must complete identity verification by submitting a valid South African ID or passport.
We may decline or reverse a verification, request further information, or apply lower limits where we are required to do so or where we reasonably suspect fraud or misuse. Verification decisions are reviewed by a person, and you may contact us to query an outcome.
4. Your wallet balance
Your wallet balance is money you have loaded, and it belongs to you. We record every rand of it against your account, and we do not use it for our operating expenses.
When you top up, your payment is collected by our payment processor, Ozow, and held in a balance maintained for Asiyen, from which withdrawals to merchants and agents are paid. Funds not needed for withdrawals are settled to a bank account in Asiyen's name that is used only for customer funds and is kept separate from the account we use to run the business. The fees we earn are moved to our operating account only once they have been earned.
Your wallet balance is not a bank deposit, is not a savings or investment product, does not earn interest, and is not covered by deposit insurance.
You are responsible for keeping your PIN and device secure. Notify us immediately if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.
5. Fees
Fees are displayed in the app before you confirm any transaction. At present:
Your first wallet top-up is free. Thereafter a top-up fee applies, shown before you confirm.
The minimum top-up is R50.
A flat fee applies to each withdrawal.
A fee is deducted when an Asiyen voucher is redeemed.
Transfers between Asiyen users may carry a fee depending on the account types involved.
We may change our fees. Where we do, the current fee is always the one displayed in the app at the time you confirm a transaction.
6. Paying a fare
Scanning a merchant's QR sticker and confirming an amount authorises an immediate transfer from your wallet to that merchant. You are responsible for entering the correct amount. Because payment is immediate, a completed fare payment cannot be reversed by us unilaterally.
If you believe you were charged incorrectly, contact the merchant in the first instance and then raise it with us through the app.
7. Withdrawals
Withdrawals to a bank account are available to Merchant and Agent accounts only. Customer accounts cannot withdraw. You must withdraw to a bank account held in your own name. We may delay or decline a withdrawal where verification is incomplete or where we are required to investigate.
Withdrawals are sent by our payment provider as real-time payments, any day of the week, including weekends and public holidays. A withdrawal normally reaches your bank within an hour, although your own bank may occasionally take longer to show it. Confirmation that a payout has completed can reach us up to 24 hours after your bank has already received the money, so a withdrawal still showing as pending in the app does not mean it has failed. If a payout cannot be completed, the amount and the withdrawal fee are returned to your wallet.
If you close a Customer account while money remains in your wallet, contact us at admin@asiyen.com and we will return the remaining balance to you.
8. Vouchers
Asiyen vouchers are sold in cash by authorised agents and are redeemed in the app. A voucher expires 90 days after it is issued if it has not been redeemed, after which it has no value. Vouchers are not refundable for cash and may only be redeemed once.
If you are asked to pay more than a voucher's face value, report it in the app. We investigate such reports and may suspend the agent concerned.
9. Airtime and data
Airtime and data are supplied by third-party providers. Once a purchase is successfully delivered to the mobile number you specify, it cannot be reversed. You are responsible for entering the correct number.
10. Stickers
QR stickers remain identified to the merchant they are activated for. Stickers may not be transferred, copied, or reproduced. We may deactivate a sticker that is reported lost, damaged, misused, or associated with fraud; a deactivated sticker can no longer receive payments.
11. Acceptable use
You may not use Asiyen to launder money, finance illegal activity, evade tax, impersonate another person, or process transactions on behalf of an undisclosed third party. You may not attempt to interfere with, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorised access to the service.
12. Suspension and closure
We may suspend or close an account where these terms are breached, where we are legally required to, or where we reasonably suspect fraud. Where an account is closed, any remaining balance belonging to you will be returned to you once we have verified your identity and the bank account it is to be paid into, subject to any legal obligation preventing this.
You may close your account at any time by contacting us.
13. Availability
We aim to keep Asiyen available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Deposits, withdrawals, and airtime purchases depend on banks, payment providers, and network operators outside our control.
14. Liability
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including under the Consumer Protection Act. Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss arising from your failure to keep your PIN or device secure, or from your entering incorrect payment details.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. Material changes will be communicated in the app or by SMS before they take effect. Continuing to use Asiyen after that constitutes acceptance.
16. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. We ask that you raise any complaint with us first at admin@asiyen.com so that we can resolve it directly.
17. Contact

Delivery Policy
Asiyen supplies both digital services and a physical item, and delivery differs between them.
Wallet top-ups are credited to your wallet as soon as payment is confirmed by our payment provider, normally within minutes. Where a payment is confirmed but your wallet is not credited, contact us and we will resolve it.
Fare payments and transfers between Asiyen users are delivered immediately on confirmation.
Airtime and data are delivered directly to the mobile number specified, normally within minutes of purchase.
Voucher redemptions credit your wallet immediately on successful redemption.
QR stickers can be handed over in person by an authorised Asiyen agent at the point of sale, or couriered directly to you if ordered online. A sticker becomes usable once it has been activated against your Merchant account — this can happen either through an agent in person, or remotely once a courier order is confirmed received. An agent is not required to activate a sticker.
Withdrawals are paid to your nominated bank account as real-time payments, any day of the week, including weekends and public holidays, and normally arrive within an hour. If a payout cannot be completed, the amount and the withdrawal fee are returned to your wallet.
There are no delivery charges for digital services. The price of a sticker is the price quoted by the agent at the point of sale.
For registered Merchants too far from an Asiyen agent to buy in person.
If there's no Asiyen agent near you yet, you can order your sticker directly and we'll post it to you. You'll need to already have a Merchant account in the Asiyen app — if you don't yet, download the app and register first, then come back here.
