Kastelo GIGS is designed to give real value back to everyday South Africans. Think about it — you pay for data every month, but if you don't finish it, it simply disappears. That's your money gone.
With GIGS, your data never expires, and you can even sell your unused data back for cash when you need it. So instead of losing money, you stay in full control of how you use it.
If you have a positive GIGS balance, you can instantly convert your GIGS to rands in the Kastelo App. Once it lands in your Kastelo Wallet, you can use it just like normal money.
Here's Exactly How It Works
Converting your GIGS data to cash is quick and simple. Follow these steps:
- Open the Kastelo app and log in
- Tap on "Accounts"
- Select "GIGS" to view your data balance
- Tap "Sell"
- Enter the amount of GIGS you want to convert to cash
- Tap "Next"
- Swipe to confirm the transaction
- Your rand balance will update instantly in your Kastelo Wallet
What You Can Do With the Money in Your Kastelo Wallet
Once your GIGS has been converted to rands, you have several options:
1. Pay for everyday items with Kastelo Pay
Use Kastelo Pay to scan QR codes at more than 30,000 merchants across South Africa. Buy groceries, fuel, clothing, restaurant meals — whatever you need.
2. Send money to someone else
Transfer money to family or friends straight from your wallet.
3. Withdraw cash at tills
Need physical cash? You can withdraw at participating retailers; it's quick and simple.
4. Buy Stocks and grow your money
If you want to grow your money instead of spending it, you can buy Kastelo Stocks with any amount you choose. You can even invest from as little as R10.
Your Data, Your Money
With Kastelo GIGS, your data is no longer something that goes to waste. It becomes real value you can use to pay for essentials, send money, or even invest.
You earned your money, so you should be able to use it however you want.
