Payment Administration · South Africa
Payment Collection, Done Properly.
HivePay administers third-party payments strictly as agent — receiving, reconciling, and settling funds with full FICA, AML and POPIA compliance. Built for South African businesses that can't afford to get this wrong.
Process
How it works.
Four steps. Zero ambiguity. Every rand traceable from payer to your account.
Payment Received
A third-party payer settles for your goods or services. Funds land in our designated administration account.
Held as Agent
Funds are received strictly as agent. They remain your property at all times — never on our balance sheet.
Reconciled
Every payment is reconciled with a full audit trail. The agreed administration fee is deducted transparently.
Net Funds Settled
Net proceeds are paid out to your nominated bank account — promptly, predictably, with line-by-line proof.
Why HivePay
Trust, by design.
Built for the compliance and operational realities of South African banking. Not a wrapper. Not a workaround.
Strict Agency Capacity
We act strictly as a limited agent. All funds remain client property at all times — never deposit-taking, never escrow.
Administrative Reconciliation
Every payment is reconciled with a full audit trail. Fees are deducted transparently before settlement.
Secure Settlement
Net funds are paid out to your nominated bank account on the agreed cadence — promptly and predictably.
FICA / AML / POPIA
Full KYC verification on every client. Information is processed in line with POPIA. We cooperate fully with banks and regulators.
Transparent Fees
Administration fees are agreed up-front, shown line-by-line on every reconciliation. No surprises, ever.
Clear Client Agreements
Every engagement is governed by a written services agreement. Roles, responsibilities and risks are explicitly disclosed.
Payroll Administration
Structured payroll support for compliant salary runs, staff payment records and month-end payment coordination.
Business Support Services
Practical back-office support for growing operators — payment admin, document handling and operational coordination.
By the numbers
Disciplined by default.
The metrics that matter for an administrator. Boring on purpose — that's the point.
