Introducing Discovery Pay – a new, free payment benefit

Introducing Discovery Pay – a free benefit available to Vitality members, powered by Discovery Bank. Discovery Pay is an innovative and secure technology that enables Discovery Bank clients to make payments to any of their contacts who are active on the Vitality programme.

Receiving payments just became a whole lot easier regardless of who you bank with. Anyone with a Discovery Bank account can pay you effortlessly using just your cellphone number. This means you never have to remember bank account numbers again. We do the hard work in the background.

How does it work?

Any Discovery Bank client can send you money seamlessly from their banking app, when they have your cellphone number saved in their contact list. We’ll then securely deposit the funds into your existing linked and verified bank account that we have on record for Vitality rewards – without sharing any banking details. It’s completely free to receive payments.

You will receive an SMS the first time someone pays you, and you’ll be asked for a once-off authorisation for the payment to be made into your existing bank account.

Then, all incoming Discovery Pay payments will automatically be paid into your account. And instead of handling cash, you can stay safe with digital payments. It’s that simple. Read more here.
