Tap to Tip
A contactless tipping solution that removes the barrier of physical cash. Empowering service providers with digital wallets and secure transactions.
Learn more about Tap to Tip →One wristband for the whole event.
An extension of the Enkosi Tap environment. Access, attendance, redemptions and cashless payments on one NFC wristband, read by phones.
Decide who goes where.
Set who may enter the gate, the VIP areas and the staff zones. Permissions are checked at every access point.
See who actually arrived.
Record when each person arrives and leaves, day by day, and which sessions they attended.
Run sessions, zones and redemptions.
Build the programme and give each person their own. Meals and tastings are loaded onto each band and used up with a tap, so none can be claimed twice.
Follow the event live.
Watch headcount and how full each room or zone is as it happens, along with what has been redeemed. A report follows once the event ends.
How it works
Configure.
Create the event, add the people, and decide who may go where and what each tap does.
Link.
Hand out wristbands, each tied to one delegate, staff member, exhibitor or guest.
Tap.
People tap their wristband on an NFC phone at the door, the session room, the bar or the stall. Readers are an option for busy entrances, and there is no hardware to rent.
Know.
See what is happening while it happens, then report on it afterwards.
Where it fits
Cashless events.
Guests top up a wristband wallet on their phone, then tap to pay at the bar or a stall. Less cash on the floor means less float, less change and less counting at the end of the night.
Year-end functions.
Guests tap in at the door. Drinks and dinner paid for by the company are loaded onto each band, and anything extra goes through a cashless bar. Private areas open only for the right bands.
Golf and sports days.
One band takes a player from registration, through the halfway house and the hospitality areas, to the bar at the end.
Wine and food festivals.
Tastings and meals sit on the wristband and are used up with a tap, so there are no paper coupons to lose or share. Redemptions show live, and a wallet band covers purchases too.
Conferences.
Delegates wear a wristband and tap in at the door and at each session. You get a record of who attended what. Any CPD points are awarded by the professional body, not by us.
Festivals and concerts.
One band opens the gate, the VIP areas and the backstage zones, and pays at the bar. Organisers see crowd numbers as they build.
Event access control.
Set who may enter which area, and the wristband enforces it at every checkpoint. Phones or readers check each tap, and the live count shows who is inside.
With a wallet wristband, guests top up from their phone and pay at bars and stalls with a tap. Payments run on TapAPI. Find out more about wallets and payments.
Book a demoOne wallet for tips, shops and events.
Wallets and payments on Enkosi Tap run on TapAPI. A wristband or tag points to the holder's wallet. The band holds no money, and every payment needs the holder's PIN.
For guests and individuals
- ✓ A cell number is all it takes to open a wallet. You do not need a bank account or an app.
- ✓ Receive money, send it to another wallet, and buy airtime, data, electricity and vouchers.
- ✓ At a TapAPI vendor, tap a wristband or tag, or let them scan your SA Smart ID. You confirm with your PIN.
- ✓ Verifying your ID raises your limits and lets you send money to your bank.
For people who earn tips
- ✓ Workers wear a tip badge with a QR code, or a wristband. A tipper scans the code or taps the band.
- ✓ A payment page opens on the tipper's phone, so there is nothing to install. They can pay by card, by bank payment or from their own TapAPI wallet.
- ✓ The tip goes straight into the worker's wallet. From there it can be spent with TapAPI vendors, used for airtime, data or electricity, sent to family, or sent to a bank account once the worker's ID is verified.
- ✓ Businesses can give badges to their staff, so each tip reaches the person who earned it.
For businesses
- ✓ An NFC phone becomes the till. A customer taps a wristband or tag, or you scan their SA Smart ID, and they confirm with their PIN.
- ✓ Send invoices, ask for payment through a link, and keep a record of every sale with its time and amount.
- ✓ Pay staff by uploading a spreadsheet.
- ✓ Every business is ID-checked before it can sell.
Wallets and payments are provided by Enkosi Tap (Pty) Ltd.

Digital Transformation for Every Sector
At Enkosi Tap, we believe that no one should be left behind in the digital revolution. Our platform is specifically designed to bring the Informal Sector into the Digital World, providing them with the tools they need to thrive.
Beyond simple transactions, we provide critical Social and Economic Development (SED) reporting, helping businesses and individuals understand their impact and growth in the Sandton community and beyond.
Plain answers about money, PINs and your details.
Money and PINs
- ✓ Your PIN is yours alone. Every payment from a wallet needs the holder's PIN. Nobody may ask for it, including event staff, shop staff and TapAPI, and event staff must never record or type it. Sharing a PIN, even with a friend, is treated as fraud under TapAPI's terms and can freeze the wallet.
- ✓ The band holds no money. A wristband or tag points to the holder's wallet. A lost band can be blocked, and the money stays in the wallet.
- ✓ Organisers cannot freeze or release a wallet. Holders can freeze their own band, and only TapAPI can release a frozen wallet.
- ✓ Money left in a wallet stays there after the event. The holder can spend it with TapAPI vendors, send it to another wallet, or move it to their bank once their identity is verified. Organisers do not refund wallet balances. For something bought from a vendor, ask the vendor.
- ✓ A TapAPI wallet is a prepaid wallet that only works with TapAPI vendors. It is not a bank account.
- ✓ TapAPI is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Home Affairs or the South African Government. An SA Smart ID is used only to confirm identity at the till. No money is stored on the card and nothing on it is changed.
- ✓ Top-ups and payments cannot start from outside South Africa.
Your details
- ✓ Wallet information. Under its privacy policy, TapAPI does not sell personal information or share it for advertising. Questions about wallet information go to TapAPI's Information Officer at io@tapapi.co.za.
- ✓ Details you send us on this page. Enkosi Tap (Pty) Ltd is responsible for the name, phone number, email address and message you send through the form. We use them to reply to your enquiry. Giving them is voluntary, but we cannot reply without a way to reach you. You can ask us to show, correct or delete them using the Email Us link on this page, and you can complain to the Information Regulator. Enkosi Tap does not sell personal information.
- ✓ For organisers. A record of who tapped where and when is personal information under POPIA. Decide before the event who may see names and who sees totals only, and tell your staff.
