SimplB Lightning is a service we are investigating for smaller buys, up to R4,000 per calendar year, with Bitcoin you can actually spend. Instant, near-free transactions at thousands of points of sale across South Africa. Join the waitlist to show your interest and help us decide to build it.
The Lightning Network is a second layer that runs on top of Bitcoin. It inherits Bitcoin's security while moving payments off the main chain, so transactions settle in about a second instead of minutes.
On-chain Bitcoin suits savings and large transfers. Lightning suits coffee money: fees are a fraction of a cent, which makes buying and spending small amounts of Bitcoin practical for the first time.
Lightning payments are already accepted at thousands of points of sale in South Africa, from major retail tills to independent stores. Your sats become money you can actually use.
Buy smaller amounts of Bitcoin up to R4,000 per calendar year, without the paperwork weight of a full brokerage account.
Your Bitcoin arrives in seconds, ready to hold or to spend.
Scan and pay with Bitcoin at thousands of South African points of sale, with the transaction confirmed before your coffee is poured.
Start with Lightning and grow into monthly saving, lump sum investing and Vault custody whenever you are ready.
This is a value adding service under investigation, not a live product. Joining the waitlist costs nothing and tells us there is real demand. Want to start today instead? Open an account, buying from R1,000 a month is live.
