Capitec Account Question

[DeadmanResting]

Hi
Can anyone confirm if a Capitec Debit account/card can do the following:
1. Purchase from Amazon.com/uk/others.
2. Purchase from Gearbest.
3. Linked with Paypal just in case I want to use it as a payment method.
4. Purchase from Steam.

Can confirm that I have purchased from Uk companies,not Amazon as such,but others.
Works with Steam.

Why wouldn't it? Works everywhere Mastercard is accepted...

Good to know it works with steam. What kind of UK companies? I'm always on the lookout for good deals.

I'm definitely going to open an account with them if that's the case.

Should do all of the above no issue.

Well, Standard Bank debit cards don't do international purchases and it's a mastercard, that's why I'm asking.

They didn't get the nickname Substandard Bank for nothing.

I'm holding my Standard bank debit card in my hand and NOWHERE does it say Mastercard. Only Maestro. My Standard Bank cheque card says Mastercard and works with online purchases.

It was for specialised items.So it even works in the UK with smaller companies.

You must be using an old card maybe? Mine says Mastercard.

Yes to all of the above. I don't know if you will still need to go into a branch to authenticate and set up the securcard thingy from Mastercard.

Entirely possible yes. My debit card is older than noah's ark. It doesn't have an expiry date on. Not even the new security chips.

Update: Got my card today and they set up everything(online shopping included). Linked it with paypal with no issues and bought a code from cdkeys to test it out. Works like a charm.
