Scott\u2019s Shipping Services Partners with Mobicred \u2013 Shop Now, Pay Later<\/h1>\n

We have some exciting news for our South African customers: Scott\u2019s Shipping Services (SSS) has teamed up with Mobicred<\/strong> to offer a convenient new pay-later option. In a nutshell, you can now choose Mobicred at checkout and enjoy a \u201cship now, pay later\u201d service on your courier costs. That\u2019s right \u2013 book your shipment today and pay it off in easy monthly installments instead of all at once. SSS is one of the first courier companies in South Africa to offer this kind of buy-now-pay-later flexibility, and we\u2019re confident it will make your shipping experience even smoother and more accessible!<\/p>\n

What is Mobicred?<\/h2>\n

Mobicred<\/strong> is a simple and convenient digital credit facility that allows you to safely shop online at thousands of stores and service providers. Mobicred is accepted at over 55,000 places<\/strong> (online and in-store) in South Africa. It works like an online revolving credit account: you apply once for a credit limit (you could qualify for up to R50,000<\/strong> in as little as 15 minutes, and then you can use that credit to make purchases or pay for services with participating merchants \u2013 now including your shipping with SSS<\/a>!<\/p>\n

When you purchase using Mobicred, you don\u2019t have to pay the full amount upfront. Instead, Mobicred will bill you in affordable monthly installments<\/strong> via debit order. You have a lot of flexibility in how you repay: your required minimum payment is only 7.5% of your outstanding balance each month, and you\u2019re not forced to settle the balance within any fixed time. As long as you pay at least that 7.5% each month, you can take as long as you need to pay off the rest \u2013 and you can even pay extra or settle early at any time *without* penalties. It\u2019s a \u201crevolving\u201d credit facility too, meaning whenever you make a repayment, that credit becomes available for you to spend again.<\/p>\n

Safety and simplicity are a big deal with Mobicred. The signup process is online-only and quick, using modern security (including automatic income verification and even facial recognition tech). No physical card is needed \u2013 your Mobicred account lives on your device. At checkout, you simply log in with your Mobicred details and confirm via OTP (one-time pin) on your phone for a secure payment. Mobicred is offered by RCS, a registered South African credit provider, so it operates under the National Credit Act just like store or credit cards. In other words, it\u2019s a trusted financial service designed to make online shopping (and now shipping!) easier while keeping your data and transactions secure.<\/p>\n
