Delayed payment allocations may be avoided by doing the following:
• Use only municipal account number as a reference on your direct internet banking or 3rd party payment channel.
• When paying through Siyakhokha Instant EFT ensure the payment process is complete on the Siyakhokha Site. The reference number allocated specifically to Instant EFT payment and should not be used for the next transaction on either Siyakhokha or EFT.
• Do not include personal or company names or any other references.
• Do not use EFT reference provided by Siyakhokha for direct internet banking purposes, use municipal account number only.
• Siyakhokha Instant EFT payment channel creates a unique reference number which is only valid for one payment per account number also validated per date of payment
