Your Stitch account: everything you can do with stitch.me

You’ve been paying with Stitch for a while, likely without realising it. The payments behind your Takealot order, your FlySafair booking, your Mr D delivery, your Lekkeslaap getaway – Stitch has been part of that for over six million South Africans already. With stitch.me there’s a place to bring all of that together, and to get a lot more out of every rand you spend.

What is the Stitch account?

The Stitch account gives you one destination to manage your payments, track your spending, access Pay Later, see your credit score and earn rewards every time you pay with Stitch. Whether you’re shopping fashion, booking travel, paying for a gym membership or ordering dinner, the moments you’re spending towards are already happening through Stitch. Your account just gives you full visibility and more control over all of it.

See all your transactions in one place

Link your payment methods to your Stitch account and your full transaction history is right there. Every payment made with Stitch across all the stores and apps where it’s accepted shows up in one feed, so you can see exactly where your money goes without opening five different apps or sifting through bank statements.

If you’re trying to build a better budget or just want a clearer picture of your spending habits, that view is genuinely useful.

Pay Later: get it now, pay on your terms

Stitch Pay Later lets you split a purchase into two to six monthly instalments at hundreds of South African stores. You choose the number of months that works for you, you see the full payment schedule before you commit, and there are no hidden fees. What you see at checkout is exactly what you pay.

Pay Later is available across fashion, beauty, electronics, homeware, groceries and more. Once you’re approved for a spend limit, checking out with Pay Later is fast and straightforward. You can track all your active Pay Later plans and upcoming payments directly from your Stitch account.

Know your credit score

Your Stitch account shows you your current credit score and helps you understand how your spending and existing credit affect it. Knowing where you stand is the first step to making smarter financial decisions, and having that information available alongside your transaction history means you’re not guessing.

Responsible use of Pay Later can also contribute positively to your credit profile over time.
