Who hears about it when you can't call
Calling is not always possible. With KwikBuck SafetyOS you can share a walk, jog, ride, meeting or delivery with family and friends, set how long it should take, and hold one SOS button to send your last known location to everyone you trust. From R20 a month, paid from your KwikBuck wallet.
