Changing to Capitec

[Bryn]

You will experience hefty banking fees if you keep doing what banks don’t want you to
Do, e.g drawing money at the ATM, depositing at the teller.

2 years back when I opened my FNB Cheque account I used to pay R400-R600 pm for banking fees, I only realized a year late that I have been banking wrong. Now I only pay about R105pm and get R600 to R900 back in Ebucks. So I am a happy man.

I don't think depositing with a teller has ever been regarded as cheap. That's an easy way to waste time and money.

Spotify, Deezer and Netflix works for me. I must try Cell C black based on https://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/964761-Unable-to-Unsubscribe-to-Black-emails but non of their packages tickles my fancy.

There's no rhyme or reason to how it works. I also used to have several recurring transactions on my Capitec card no issue, but a bunch didn't work as well. I think it may be that many companies don't configure their payments as recurring, due to it doing nothing but potentially causing issues. But who knows. I once had Capitec support on the phone telling me that my once-off Humble Bundle purchase was being rejected for being a recurring transaction, so I used PayPal for the occasional Humble Bundle purchase until I started relying on my FNB card.

Yes however I am from another country and the only way to deposit physical cash there is through a teller. So I did the same when I got here so bank charges crippled me until I found out about depositing at ATMs.
