South African fintech company Paycorp has unveiled CryptoExpress, a user-friendly app designed to simplify cryptocurrency cash withdrawals at over 3,000 ATMs nationwide.
The app, available on both iOS and Android, integrates seamlessly with various crypto wallets, offering a simplified process for converting digital assets into South African rand.
“The goal is to connect more people to their money, and through launching CryptoExpress, we are doing just that,” emphasizes Steven Kark, Paycorp’s Group CEO.
Unlike conventional Bitcoin machines, Paycorp’s innovative solution capitalizes on the extensive network of existing ATMs, particularly focusing on areas beyond major centers.
Kark highlights this distinction by stating, “Our ATMs are located at formal and informal retailers, forecourts, and hospitality locations in both urban and rural areas, making them easily accessible for the majority of South Africans.“

The CryptoExpress app supports a range of popular cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD Coin, and Tether.
Users initiate the withdrawal process by converting their cryptocurrency within the app, authorizing the transaction through their crypto wallet, and receiving a withdrawal voucher PIN from CryptoExpress.
This PIN, alongside their mobile number, becomes the key for cash withdrawal at any Cash Express ATM, with the funds dispensed in South African Rands.
The move comes amidst a broader trend of increasing cryptocurrency adoption in Africa, with South Africa leading the way in regulatory initiatives.
The country has actively addressed advertising standards and introduced licensing requirements for crypto financial companies.
Moreover, collaborative efforts with 47 other nations aim to combat tax evasion within the cryptocurrency realm.
Ultimately, Paycorp’s launch of CryptoExpress marks a significant milestone in facilitating practical and accessible cryptocurrency transactions, contributing to the expanding landscape of digital asset usage in South Africa.
