Why am I being charged a repair fee?
When making a deposit, one of the requirements is that the users 10 digit card number is used as a reference - and only the 10 digit card number. If anything other than this is entered into the field or a name is added to the card number Smart Swipe Solutions has to manually go through each one and amend these so that the system can upload the funds correctly to the correct card. We therefore charge a R3.70 fee for this work.
