GoTyme Bank (formerly TymeBank, and incorporated as TymeBank Limited ) is a South African digital-only bank aimed at the lower income market.
Headquartered in Johannesburg, Gauteng, the company was founded in 2015. GoTyme is a division of financial services corporation Tyme Group, which operates banks under the GoTyme name in various markets, including Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Unlike major commercial banks in SA, GoTyme does not have any physical bank branches and relies on an Android banking App, and Internet Banking site and a partnership with two retail chains, Pick n Pay and Boxer, to host a national network of self-service kiosks that facilitate the account opening process.
The Prudential Authority of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), granted permission for GoTyme (then TymeBank) to operate exclusively online on 28 September 2017.
The bank rebranded from TymeBank to GoTyme Bank in January 2026, aligning itself with branding already used in foreign markets, such as the Philippines. A new app was released at the time of rebranding, and existing TymeBank clients could continue using their old physical cards.
