Major outage at Capitec

This is a fukcup, I released goods to a client yesterday who paid via instant eft (Crapitec) as they always do. Cash has gone off their account, but now I'm waiting (FNB).

I know all banks are ****, hence choose Capitec because one might as well pay R5 per month for the **** than R99+. But this is really ridiculous now. Think I need to go back to paying R99.

Why pay that much? Just get a FNB Easy account for about the same monthly as the Capitec one then. It's not like it does not run on the same FNB systems as the other accounts.
 
Where's that post about Capitec's amazing tech stack, specifically the biometrics department that would put any company to shame? Maybe they should've reallocated some resources from those projects :p

Lol, their cards do work apparently it's the app which remains down. It sucks, this is some extended outage.

It's not just the channel (app/OB), but also some payment rails like EFT. If I had to guess, this seems like some intrabank integration issue where some services aren't able to communicate with others.

Makes sense for cards to still work because that's a direct hook into their banking switch without having to go through various layers...
