Payment workflows
Secure payment workflows facilitated through a licensed third-party payment provider - structured collections and payments with verification controls and traceable records.
Critical: CaEFT does not receive, hold or pool client funds. Payment execution is facilitated by Sanlam Multi Data, a licensed third-party payment provider, in accordance with the applicable provider terms and the Web Portal Services Agreement.
Limits (e.g. up to 15 collections and 15 payments per client file, up to R5 million per transaction) are subject to applicable service terms and must be contractually supportable.

Provider-facilitated payment execution with verification controls - reducing reliance on unsecured email threads for banking details.
