Did you know? Bitcoin Pizza Day, celebrated on 22 May, marks the first real-world Bitcoin transaction. Back in 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz exchanged 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, proving that Bitcoin could be used as a true medium of exchange.
To celebrate the occasion, we visited, one of the first merchants to enable Crypto Payments with Ozow, to share a few pizzas and celebrate the growing adoption of Crypto Payments on their platform.
As South Africa’s most flexible airline, LIFT serves both local and international customers travelling domestically. By enabling Crypto Payments, they’re able to offer greater flexibility to customers who may not have a South African bank account or use the Rand as their primary currency.
Thanks to the LIFT team for hosting us. We look forward to creating even more value together as we continue to introduce payment experiences that are fast, seamless, and secure.

For our Chief Growth Officer, Catherine Korsten, leadership comes down to clarity, trust, and accountability.
When people feel supported and empowered to take ownership, they do their best work. In Catherine's view, her role is to set direction, remove friction, and keep the team moving forward.
At Ozow, that approach ensures growth is intentional, focused, and built on momentum that lasts.

As we continue to roll out Crypto Payments across the Ozow ecosystem, our partner, MoneyBadger, hosted a workshop to deepen our team’s knowledege of the crypto payments landscape in South Africa and the value it delivers to merchants and customers. The session gave us the opportunity to explore real-world use cases and unpack how crypto is expected to evolve as a payment method in the years ahead.
Led by their Head of Revenue, Ben Blaine, the session focused on simplifying complex concepts, building confidence across our team, and ensuring we’re ready to support merchants and customers as adoption grows.
Thank you to MoneyBadger for an insightful and engaging session.

For our Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Lyle Eckstein, leadership is about creating space for ownership.
He believes people do their best work when they feel they’re building something of their own, not simply executing a plan.
At Ozow, that mindset drives a product culture rooted in ownership, curiosity, and accountability, where teams are empowered to think beyond delivery and build payment experiences that shape how money moves.
