Please note: You must be the owner of the business to complete the profile.
Step 1: Create your profile
You’ll need to provide your email address and cell number, create a password and accept our Ts and Cs.
Step 2: Complete the following information
- Select Sole Trader (Sole Proprietor) for the type of business and click "next".
- Complete your business name. This is name that will appear on your digital or printed receipts.

- Your banking details. This is the bank account where you will receive your payouts. It can be your personal bank account if you have not set up a separate business bank account. It needs to be a bank account in your name.
Step 3: Complete an easy identity check
To make sure we know who you are and that no-one is pretending to be you, you'll need to complete an identity check. This process requires you to provide some details about yourself and to complete a face scan.
Please note that in some instances we may also need a photo of the original, of either your:
- Green ID book
- Smart ID card (front and back)
- Driver’s licence (front and back)
These are the details you'll need to complete:
- Your ID number, if you’re a South African citizen or a permanent resident with an SA ID number.
If you don’t have an SA ID number, then click here and follow these steps. - Your residential address, this is the address where you live.
Please note: iKhokha securely stores your information and uses it for the purpose of completing FICA checks to verify your identity.
Next, follow these steps to do your face scan:
- Allow camera access when requested so that you can complete the face scan and, if required, take a photo of your identity document (This pop up notification may differ depending on the device you are using).
-
If you don’t allow camera access then click here to complete our manual identity check process. Please note that verification will take longer if you need to be manually verified.
-
Get ready to do a face scan. Remove your glasses or anything covering your face like hats, scarves or hair. Stand in a well lit area, and avoid bright lights behind you. If you can’t see without your glasses then get someone to help you.
- Position yourself within the circle and click “Scan”.
- When your scan has been successfully completed, click "next" to continue.
Please note: This scan will only be used for the purpose of checking your identity.
If you are required to take a photo of your identity document then follow these steps:
- Select the type of identity document you will take a photo of.
- Take a photo of your selected type of identity document. Position the document within the frame and capture the entire card or page. If taking a photo of your smart ID card or driver's licence, you'll need to capture both the front and back of the card.
Please note: Please make sure that the photo you take is of the document type you selected. So if you select “Green ID book” you must take a photo of your Green ID book. To choose a different document type click, “change document type”.
- Click “Submit” if the image is clear and you have captured the entire card or page.
Step 4: Wait for verification or check the status of your profile
Once you’ve submitted your information, iKhokha will verify the details and let you know if you’ve been approved or contact you to get any additional information that we need.
Look out for an email from us or you can also check the status of your profile by logging into the iK Dashboard using the email and password you used to create your profile.
