Safety

How we protect sellers

We've taken extra measures to help keep you and your customers safe.

Get started

Our safety features

  • Emergency assist

    Tap the panic button in-app during any meetup — it alerts our team and can escalate to SAPS.

  • 24/7 support

    Real South African teammates on chat, phone and WhatsApp around the clock.

  • Share your order details

    Share live trip and drop-off details with someone you trust from the KwikBuck app.

  • Help centre

    Guides, checklists and safety tips for every kind of transaction — before, during and after.

  • Fair review policy

    We vet reviews for fairness and remove retaliatory or abusive ratings from your profile.

  • GPS tracking

    Deliveries and meetups are GPS-tracked in-app, so nobody has to guess where anyone is.

  • Phone number anonymisation

    In-app calls and messages hide your real number — no more strangers texting you at midnight.

  • User profiles

    Every buyer has a verified profile with ID, phone and rating so you know who's coming.

“Getting started was much easier than I expected. Buyers are verified before they even message me — I've never had a no-show since switching.”
Thandiwe R. · Beauty therapist, Cape Town
“I flip second-hand furniture and used to worry about strangers coming to my house. GPS tracking and the panic button changed the game for me.”
Bongani S. · Furniture flipper, Gqeberha
“Renting out a room on my property is stressful without protection. KwikBuck's deposit-and-cover setup means I finally sleep easy on booking nights.”
Michelle vd B. · Room rental host, Stellenbosch
“Doing bakkie deliveries across Joburg meant a lot of cash on hand. Getting paid into escrow before I load the vehicle keeps me and my team safe.”
Kabelo M. · Bakkie delivery, Midrand
“Hosting events, we've had refunds abused on other platforms. Real humans review disputes on KwikBuck and I've never lost a legitimate ticket sale.”
Zanele H. · Event ticket host, Sandton
