“In mining, efficiency and trust are everything,” says Palesa Morebodi, Head of Operations at adumo Payouts. “From paying large contractor teams to managing supplier settlements and employee benefits, mining companies need a payment solution that is fast, traceable, and built to scale. That is exactly what we deliver.”

Instant and reliable payouts across the value chain

Mining companies often work with thousands of employees, contractors, and service providers spread across multiple locations. Traditional payment systems can be slow, cumbersome, and administratively heavy, sometimes taking days to clear. adumo Payouts transforms this by enabling instant payouts, reducing downtime, and strengthening trust between mining companies and their stakeholders. “Our solution for the mines is a tangible card that serves as an alternative to cash,” adds Morebodi.

“With our platform, mining companies can pay wages, bonuses, and reimbursements in real time, directly into recipients’ prepaid cards” explains Morebodi. “That level of speed and transparency builds confidence among workers and partners while easing the administrative burden for finance teams.”

Supporting financial inclusion in mining communities

Beyond efficiency, adumo Payouts contributes to financial inclusion in mining regions where many individuals may have limited access to traditional banking infrastructure. By offering safe and accessible alternative payment solutions, our platform ensures workers and community members can access their funds quickly, safely and securely. “For the mining space, our solution is a prepaid card that is meant to be a safer alternative to cash, and outside of payroll, free from debit orders and garnishee orders,” says Morebodi.

“Mining companies have a responsibility not just to their workforce, but also to the surrounding communities,” says Morebodi. “By enabling digital payouts, we are helping ensure that workers and their families can participate more fully in the digital economy.”

A trusted technology partner

As part of the wider Lesaka Group, which supports more than 90 000 merchants across South Africa, adumo Payouts brings the mining sector the confidence of a proven, trusted financial technology partner. The platform is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing business systems, allowing mining companies to modernise without disruption.

“Our goal is to take the complexity out of payments so mining companies can focus on what they do best, which is driving growth, supporting communities, and powering South Africa’s economy,” concludes Morebodi.
