This partnership expands Binance Pay's merchant network to 63,000+ businesses worldwide, marking one of its biggest integrations yet.
Binance Pay is a contactless and borderless crypto payment system built into the Binance app. It allows users to send, receive, and spend crypto instantly with zero gas fees - whether for peer-to-peer transfers or in-store purchases.

The Zapper integration is part of Binance Pay's strategy to make crypto usable for everyday purchases, not just investment.
In South Africa, users can now pay for food, fuel, and flights with crypto - including at KFC, Wimpy, Mugg & Bean, Dis-Chem, Baby City, Coricraft, Yuppiechef, FlySafair, and major fuel stations like Total and Sasol.
According to Yande Nomvete, Country Lead for Binance South Africa:
"Binance Pay is about more than crypto; it's about giving South Africans freedom and flexibility in how they spend their money."
To celebrate the rollout, Binance Pay is offering a 50% cashback on purchases made through Zapper merchants beginning September 9 2025.
The promotion encourages first-time users to try crypto payments in real-life settings -- from supermarkets to petrol stations -- showcasing crypto's practicality in daily commerce.
With this launch, South Africa becomes a key frontier in Binance Pay's global rollout, turning digital assets into a real-world payment tool.
For Binance, it's another milestone toward its goal of 'increasing the freedom of money' - making crypto not just something you invest in, but something you live with.
