Disabling tap-to-pay on bank cards - why FNB doesn't let you

[RedViking]

Worst is when you want to just tap, but they force you to insert.

That's not right.

Those extra 10 seconds are really going to kill you.

Thing is, you can have your card disabled immediately if you have the bank app or +- 10 min if you call.

Provided of course, you didn't have your phone stolen.

I presume many will worry more about the phone.

No, not remembering my pin because I haven't used it in such a long time is what kills me.

Makes zero sense. Since when do you swipe to buy online on takealot?

You need to see a doc boy.

To authenticate an online purchase I only have to log in to my banking app and press Yes. No need to key in some random pin.

Ever heard of fallback? USSD has been a thing since yonks ago.

Well they have almost double the users of the nearest competitor Substandard bank so not surprising. They also have the most digital users so I think things will change.

When i was changing banks, what Standard Bank offered me far far surpassed what I was offered by Capitec by a quarter mile lol. It wasn't even a comparison.

Shame been with Capitec since 2013 and haven't really missed anything.

For starters, when i asked them do I get Priority Pass or LoungeKey for airport lounge access I got a blank stare. Since I'm in them so often I really didn't want to pay for a full lounge subscription.
Then I asked what car hire and hotel group discounts do their Mastercards do (Mastercard World Citizen gets major discounts at Standard Bank) - and again nothing.
I applied for a homeloan - Standard Bank beat Capitec's interest rate.

Granted, not all banks are perfect. I know SB does not work for some, and FNB works for others. And ABSA still for others. I just found Capitec did not give me what other banks did. Just my simple old Nedbank American Express card gives me more access to travel than anything from a lot of other banks.
