Major outage at Capitec

The one account you forgot about is probably in the negative in any case.

Nah, I just checked, It has plenty.

You rich bugger. My nedbank account has been in the negative for 6 months now.

@backstreetboy i saw whole bunch (actually a hell lot of them) of angry Capitanians outside Capitec, I tried to tell them you are not experiencing any issues. That didn't help. I ended up telling them about Philips Airfryers which slightly lightened the mood. After which I went to the Absa ATM, drew some cash, and walked away with everyone screaming again.

There is always a queue outside Capitec, those people like to stand in line.

Come to Capitec. My account has never had that problem.

Yeah it has never had that problem because it never works.

Of course. But usually they stand there like Zombies. This time they acted like Zuma supporters.

You expect the front office staff to resolve what is clearly a major issue on their IT core? OK.

I've been with Capitec since 2010, an early adopter. This is by far the biggest issue I have had with them in 12 years. However I had to open a Standard Bank account for a new home loan last year and already had 2 instances since then where I could not access my "access bond" for more than 24 hours.

I will however agree that redundancy is key. It's actually incredibly scary to think how extremely dependant we are on banks. Saambou I believe is still fresh in all our memories.

Those comments. "Capitec is hacked." Lol.

It is "massively" inconvenient. I use Capitec for my Wire IT transactions as I can't buy prepaid electricity with my Discovery bank account. Today I had to buy electricity from the Checkers cashier like a Plebeian.

Since last night we are also waiting for my wife's salary to reflect in her Capitec account.

It would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall there and to get a deep dive on the reason for the challenges that they are facing.
