Welcome to Pulse SA! 👋
We truly appreciate you joining this vital mission.

Your work builds real credit track records for unbanked informal entrepreneurs.

Banks and community funders rely on your data. At all times, you must act with absolute honesty and integrity. Any fake, fabricated, or misleading data, fake photos, or deceptive behavior is strictly unacceptable and will result in an immediate permanent ban and forfeiture of all points.

Pulse SA
Intelligence Layer - Est. 2025
South Africa's first structured intelligence network for the informal economy.
Our Mission
To make South Africa's informal economy visible, bankable, and insurable - one data point at a time.
Our Vision
A South Africa where every street vendor, spaza shop, and township trader has access to the financial services that formal businesses take for granted.
Why Your Work Matters
The data you collect today helps banks offer loans to traders who've never had one, helps insurers price cover for spaza shops, and helps companies serve communities that have been invisible for too long.
You are not just earning points. You are building the infrastructure of economic inclusion.
How It Works
1
Pick a Gig
Choose a data collection task from the Gigs tab that matches your area.
2
Collect the Data
Visit a trader, fill in the form honestly. The more complete, the more points you earn.
3
Earn & Redeem
Points accumulate in your wallet. Redeem as airtime or other rewards whenever you're ready.
