Been waiting for this for a while - was on the brink of changing banks even. I am glad it is finally here.

Just set it up, cant wait to test it with my R350 bonus this year

Wow and I thought FNB was slow.

slow? that will be me.... i was willing to wait for my card to expire before i get the tappy tappy type card

 

[zulucat]

About damn time too, was getting tired of the tsek or savings question... I like silent shopping, no questions asked

 

[susefan]

But do capitec people use iphones?

Cripple! I tried to activate it and had to wait for 10 min for someone to know what to do, and no one at the call centre could help. We will try again when they train their staff

I have to use the poor people's bank to save on bank fees. You have to understand, us Apple people pretend to live rich, but we have crushing debt because we buy iPhones and AirFryers.

 

[ShaunSA]

Ooh boy. Do they know Apple advertise on Twitter?

Not a brand you would want to knowingly associate with

 

[epah]

The same people who refuse to use their banking apps and would rather stand at the ATM queue for hours on end are expected to own iPhones and use Apple Pay. This has to be a joke. Capitec users still live in medieval times.

Why do you need someone else to activate it? Unless you're talking about yourself?

Samsung Pay, Google Pay, Fitbit Pay, Garmin Pay

Do any of those work with other devices that were not made by those companies?

Google Pay is not locked down to a specific brand AFAIK.

Yes really. We be having Apple Pay for well over a year now. No way would I switch to a bank that wouldn’t prioritise that.

I've been using Zapper for years. Apple and Google Pay doesn't save me time.

 

[bwana]

Of course Apple Pay hasn’t saved you any time, you couldn’t use it until now.
