I have not been able to access my app since April 2021. Been to the branch several times, without any joy. Now, when I am trying to sort out a payment that has been stuck, the agent cannot assist me, due to this. As I do not use the app, I cannot receive the code. I am done with incompetence. Will be moving to another bank that is able to helo and understand what my problem is. Since being a Capitec Client, I have not once had a positive experience.

For 3 months my wife and myself have sent in circles with a problem with the internet banking Seven years ago my son and his wife had the problem , the moment the banking app is upgraded. your account can not be entered as your finger prints have to be used . If you are out of South Africa how do you get your account reactivated. Seven years ago The C.E.O of Capitec Bank sent two token generaters for my son and his wife through myself and my wife . We had these sent to my son and is working 100%. My wife and myself have been sent around in circles for 3 months and today I found out that Capitec Bank wants to stop the token generaters with out notifying the client's. Both of us can not make payments on the Internet Banking being blocked to make payments every things work up to making payments then the message is Internet Banking server error, the people working in the branches try to help are also put on hold 45+minutes. The Capitec Customer Care, Capitec help desk and complaints department do not help stating that the I .T department would fix the problem but to no avail. You are put on hold for long periods waiting for them to sort out the problem. Siyasanga Blayl , of the Complaint Management officer can not help .She stated that the problem is by us. She was phoning an incorrect cell phone number. We have requested that the C.E.O of Capitec Bank contact us but are told that they do not know how to contact him . This a very poor reflection of Capitec Bank

I am only giving 1 star as there is no option for 0 I have been with Capitec Bank for close to 10 years, I work at good company and earn a good salary which comes into my Capitec account each month. I have been trying to apply for a R80 000 loan or credit card for the past MONTH and I keep getting rejected, No one calls to let me know the reason why, I call Capitec everyday to follow up and keep getting told that someone will call me, or I keep getting transferred to different department's. It seems like no one at Capitec knows what is going on and how to do their jobs I have had the worst experience with this bank and I will be moving to another bank that can actually help their customers and provide guidance when needed The customer service is horrible , people are rude and DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THEIR JOBS!

Capitec Empangeni branch have majority of rude staff who cannot even greet as you enter. My card was stuck in the machine at 7:30am and I was told no one could assist me. When I asked for the manager I was told to wait fir G4S services. My helpdesk number 10 assistant "Sisie" quickly called the next customer without assisting me. 2 August 2023 The host has been the only person at the branch that showed sympathy towards my situation this morning. But I am very disgusted in the service at this branch, they just do not care about their customers. We are treated like sheep or the next customer is a goat on a livestock farm.

This is the worst bank ever sent money to another bank they promise 24 hrs don't trust they lie it beyond 24 and they now claim that money sent on Thursday after 4pm will only be received on Monday..... The worst part is am pay for my Unisa studies with a delay of Friday because their app did not accept my payment into Unisa I had to send it to another bank this has been a nightmare never again I guess it really is not a bank but people making money of us

Capitec can't even reverse a transaction that you made online. Very disappointed by that.

All my money for the month was deducted off my account on the 23 June 2023 from a purchase I made at checkers on the 19 June 2023 . Which was also taken from my account. When I called I was told it was a problem with the Nedbank machines and the problem has been escalated. This is theft from Capitec I do not bank with Nedbank I have a Capitec account and I did not authorize Capitec to steal my money from my capitec account. When this problem is resolved I will not be using Capitec again. If this is not resolved quickly I will lay a fraud case.

Capitec Bank is a con man.!!! They put me on a six months plan not to get loans from anywhere without my consent. The consultant said 3 months. I called today another consultant says it's 7 months not 6 months, I get transferred from dep to dep for the whole day.... let's all just move from this bank.. it's benefits from the white system, target the poor and such them dry until dead, after all they just bloody blacks right.. piece of 🗑 carcassonne......

The worst bank ever, the most complained about. Moving my money to another bank I'd rather pay higher interest rates, this is unacceptable. The app is always down. Capitec is 💩👎🏾

Appalling service with no feedback! It has been 2 weeks and still Capitec has not transferred the funds from my late fathers savings account to mine, as I was advised by the branch. I have tried to get the status of this process numerous times and still no assistance. The WhatsApp chat platform is useless, why have this when its not monitored or servicing the clients needs? I did advise the customer consultants the branches I have visited that this was a matter of urgency as we were short with funds to bury my father. All necessary documents were submitted. What needs to happen now? I need answers!!!!

I tried to invest R500000.00 in a fixed deposit account, they gave me incorrect information that I could convert my one saving account to a fixed deposit account. When I tried to deposit the funds into this fixed deposit account via internet banking I could not. I called the bank they could not help, that happened on 22 March 2023. I have sent 4 emails to the bank with no response. I eventually got a reaction after I reported the case to the Bank Ombudsman. However today is the 2 May 2023 and the problem is still not resolved.

Worst service ever since Capitec Bank has taken over Mercantile Bank. Relationship bankers dont get back to you, you struggle to get through to them telephoniclly and they are generally clueless on all their products.

I deposited R10 000 in cash at a Capitec ATM inside the branch at the Glen Shopping Centre (Cnr Orpen Rd &, Letaba Rd, Oakdene ) on the 17 November 2022. After depositing the cash the ATM switched off and took my R10 000. I have made numerous visits to the Capitec branch, and numerous calls to Capitec Bank to report my incident. In response, I have only been given reference numbers and Capitec Bank refused me my money back. This whole incident took place in full view of Capitec's Bank cameras, which are situated directly above the ATM. I have spoke with consultants, branch managers and regional managers to help me with this situation. After 3 months of given the run around they have refused to pay my R10 000 back. WARNING TO ALL CAPITEC CLIENTS - If you are to make cash deposits at a CAPITEC ATM,  THERE IS NO GUARANTEE your money will reflect into your account and be prepared to deal with very unprofessional staff at the Capitec Bank.
