Major outage at Capitec

[epah]

I wonder if the CTO will put out a statement

You mean the part time IT technician?

He will do his job of professionally sweeping it under the carpet.

Sus

Nothing sus it's just a Paystack payment page for R1 to test card payments online. This was conceived when a Capitec user wanted to start using their card for online payments.

I heard - not sure how accurate - that some people reportedly saw their bank balance being 0 at some stage?

You heard it from Sherlock?

No, my wife was reading a news article and said someone claimed that.

That's a quick way to make R50k!

It's why I challenge every Capitec user to test it.

Do you know how much R1 is for a capitec user.... What you smoking?

That's their pension fund.

Or lose R50k, surely the merchant charges to process the R1 will be more than R1, isn’t there a minimum charge of R3 or thereabouts per transaction?

I wish, people are way too sus of making online payments.

It's percentage based...

Even more so if the company is located in Lagos.

That's a good thing, most people are probably in overdraft.

Capitec has overdraft facilities?

They have a local branch in Cape Town.

Not giving my cc details to a Nigerian company

 

[Guest 290922]

Not giving my cc details to a Nigerian company

It's going to Paystack South Africa pty ltd.

I trust them more than I trust Capitec.

PiR's take time and then it still has to go through PR for public consumption

So they will publish it as soon as PR has stripped the uncomfortable truths out...
