Can I fundraise outside of South Africa?

< 1 min read

BackaBuddy is a South African crowdfunding platform mainly designed to support fundraisers within South Africa or for causes that are based in South Africa. However:

  • You can donate to a BackaBuddy campaign from anywhere in the world, using one of our international payment methods. Simply change the currency from ZAR to USD to activate the international payment methods, which are PayPal and Debit/Credit cards.

  • Running a fundraiser from outside South Africa is possible, but it is important to note that if funds are being paid to an international bank account, payouts may take longer than usual to be processed.
