New partnership with EasyEquities allows South Africans to redeem vouchers on the EasyEquities platform through their use of over 15 South African apps using JET8 Technology.
From today, users of JET8 apps across South Africa will be able to redeem EasyEquities vouchers for fractional shares in companies listed on the JSE (Johannesburg Stock Exchange) using their JETPoints they received when creating branded content and engaging audiences on social media.
Users create branded content on apps created with JET8 Technology which is available on the Google Play Store and the iOS App Store to customise their photos and videos with branded Geo-stickers and Geo-frames, and earn points (‘JETPoints’) for every in-app like, comment, and share, as well as for cross-posting onto external social networks. JETPoints can be used to redeem EasyEquities vouchers in JET8’s in-app Store and then use these vouchers on the EasyEquities platform to invest.
JETPoints earned on the following apps: TaxiCAM, ICEcam, Maties Cam, AfriSelfie, Fotoku and MoMo ZA, JET8 Wallet APP can be used to purchase EasyEquities vouchers.
EasyEquities CEO, Charles Savage said: “We are delighted to be working on this exciting new initiative with JET8. The relationship with JET8 represents a powerful opportunity for EasyEquities to achieve our goals around the democratization of share ownership and investments for all.”
JET8 Africa Managing Director, Gerjo Hoffman said: “South Africans can now post selfies from their favourite brands, share these selfies on social media and earn JETPoints and use these JETPoints to purchase an EasyEquity voucher and redeem this voucher on EasyEquities’ platform and even buy a fractional share of their favourite brand. This is the first step to offer South Africans financial products on the JET8 platforms.”
