Honest numbers, no hype

Paid Surveys in South Africa

Answer questions for brands and researchers, get paid in rands, and take it out as airtime, a voucher or a bank transfer

Paid surveys are the simplest way to earn on Mocash. A company wants to know what people think, our survey partners find people to ask, and you are paid for your answers.

Here is the honest part first. A short survey usually pays a few rands, not hundreds. You will sometimes be screened out after a few questions, because the survey wants a different kind of person. And the money can wait before you can take it out.

If you know that going in, surveys are a fair way to cover airtime, data or a small voucher in your spare minutes. This page explains how it works, what to expect and how to avoid fake survey sites.

How paid surveys work on Mocash

Four steps. Every survey shows what it pays before you start.

  1. Create a free account

    Joining is free and you never pay to start. You need to be 18 or older.

  2. Pick a survey

    Surveys show their pay in rands and roughly how long they take. Start with short ones while you learn which you qualify for.

  3. Wait for it to be ready

    Rewards can wait up to 30 days while the partner checks your answers. Many surveys are ready much sooner, often in hours once your ID and phone are verified.

  4. Take your money out

    From R 10, as airtime, a voucher or a bank transfer. A R 2 fee is added on top, and a person checks every withdrawal.

What to expect from surveys

Small, steady amounts

Most surveys pay a few rands. Longer ones pay more. Check the pay and the time, and work out if it is worth it to you.

Screen-outs happen

Sometimes a survey ends early because you do not fit who they want. It is normal on every survey site. Try another one.

Answer honestly

Rushed or random answers get caught, and the partner can cancel the reward. Honest answers are what keep surveys coming.

Light on data

Most surveys are just text and buttons, so they use little data compared with video or game offers.

Often ready sooner

Survey rewards are among the quickest to be ready, especially on a verified account with a good record.

No fees to join

A real survey site never asks you to pay to sign up or to unlock your money. If one does, it is a scam.

Ways to take out your survey money

What is open on the day shows on the withdraw page.

  • Bank transfer
  • 1Voucher
  • OTTVoucher
  • Blu Voucher
  • Easy Voucher
  • Hollywoodbets
  • Airtime on Vodacom, MTN, Cell C and Telkom

Before you start

  • You must be 18 or older and live in South Africa

  • A phone with a browser and some data or Wi-Fi

  • Your ID and phone number verified before your first withdrawal

  • Patience: earnings are small per survey and not guaranteed, and rewards can wait up to 30 days

Frequently asked questions

Are paid surveys in South Africa legit?

Some are and some are not. A legit survey site is free to join, shows what each survey pays before you start, and lets you take money out without paying a fee to unlock it. Mocash is free to join, shows every reward in rands, and adds only a R 2 fee when you withdraw.

Why do I keep getting screened out?

The survey is looking for certain people, for example a certain age or people who own a car. If your answers do not match, it ends. Fill in your profile honestly so you are shown surveys that fit you better.

What is the least I can take out?

R 10. A R 2 fee is added on top, so the full amount you ask for reaches you.

Do I need a bank account?

No. You can take your money as airtime or a voucher like 1Voucher or OTTVoucher instead of a bank transfer.

How much do paid surveys pay?

A short survey usually pays a few rands. Longer or rarer surveys pay more. Each survey shows its pay before you start, so you always know. Nobody can honestly promise a monthly amount.

How long until I can withdraw my survey money?

Rewards can wait up to 30 days while the partner checks them, but many surveys are ready sooner, often in a few hours once your ID and phone are verified. Each task shows its own date in your profile.

Can I do surveys on my phone?

Yes. Mocash works in your phone's browser, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. Most surveys are made for phones.
