Two lucky shoppers on the Ozow platform stand a chance of winning Reevo electric bikes valued at over R150,000 each by shopping and using the e-commerce platform to pay for their transactions.
On Thursday, the Ozow Dashboard showed that the single largest single transaction was worth a whopping R275,000, placing that customer in a favourable position to win the swanky e-bike.
The Ozow Dashboard was created to monitor consumer spending patterns during the year's biggest retail sales period in South Africa, including the retail boom expected with Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The largest single transaction represents the current highest individual purchase made by a consumer within the retail sector using Ozow Instant EFT.
Two people - one with the biggest single transaction, and one with the most transactions paying with the Ozow platform, will win the R150,000 valued Reevo e-bike.
The highest daily spend by a single consumer in the retail sector was R154,000, according to Ozow, this figure represents the greatest amount spent by a single customer across multiple baskets and transactions.
The dashboard also showed that the average transaction value for the day was R416.35 and this figure represented the average value of all purchases made at Ozow’s retail partners.

3 shopping tips this Black Friday
Black Friday can bring a shopping haste that’s both exciting and overwhelming. But while big discounts grab our attention, it’s easy to overlook hidden risks and opportunities.
Here are some essential tips to help you get the best deals while keeping your data, finances, and peace of mind secure.
Avoid using public Wi-Fi when making payments
While it’s tempting to connect and check prices on the go, public Wi-Fi is a prime playground for hackers.
Skilled hackers can intercept data and steal personal information like credit card numbers. If you must connect, use a VPN to keep your data encrypted. Or better yet, switch to mobile data for secure browsing.
Watch out for ‘Phantom’ Black Friday sites
Fake online stores multiply during Black Friday, designed to look like your favourite retailers.
These sites aim to steal your credit card information and personal data. Avoid clicking links from promotional emails or pop-ups.
Instead, type the retailer’s website URL directly into your browser to ensure you’re on the official site.
Set up alerts
Many banks allow you to set up SMS or app notifications for transactions on your account. Setting this up before the Black Friday rush can help you spot any suspicious activity immediately.
If a hacker manages to slip through, you'll know in real-time and can act fast to minimise the damage.
