It's random, because apart from currency conversions there's no way to tell if something is an international or local purchase.

Anyone else getting System error when trying to login to internet banking?
Happened the other night. Was fixed after a few minutes.

Capitec is the only bank I know that has a better mobile app than their internet banking. Does anybody know why their internet banking is still so terrible? I've last seen a website that old-fashioned around the early 2000's. I mean it can't be for a lack of money or development capacity, so what's the reason?

Oh, it's to terrible, worse than that FNB site of gloriousness, I love form over function.
It's still tremendously expensive for low amounts. Unless they make it a percentage fee I'm out. I'm keeping Paypal funds in any case now for such use.

Bro, be real. You're saying Capitec's website is better than FNB's? How?

I log in to Capitec's IB I instantly see my accounts. With FNB you have to login, accept a phishing scam warning and then you can navigate to your bank accounts before you actually see them. That's two extra clicks for one thing.

Way less layers and no unnecessary visual fluff. I have both, so I know.
FNB is horrible and non functional. Had to use a different browser last time to access it.

It's not just with PCs. Capitec I can use anywhere even on a feature phone. It doesn't have those unneeded flashy dropdowns. It's also not about the PC as you missed the part where I said I had to use another browser. I may prefer a more rudimentary and safer browser but FNB breaks those things for me, and then it just looks terrible as well.

Lets turn this around?:
What makes FNBs website better?
(sidebar: are you also a fan of Settings, Control Panel being the worst?)

South Africa’s best and worst digital banks according to customers
InSites Consulting South Africa today revealed the results of its annual SITEisfaction survey, which shows the behaviour and experience of online customers using South Africa’s six main consumer banks: FNB, Capitec, TymeBank, Nedbank, Standard Bank and Absa.

Grats Capitec.
I took out an FNB account, but I'm thinking of going back to Capitec. It seems that international deposits work out cheaper with Capitec (R150 vs R195 from FNB).
Larger international purchases are also cheaper: If I purchase something from Amazon for R1000, Capitec will charge me R3, whereas FNB will charge me R27.50 (2.75%).
To top it off, FNB charge me R99 per month, while Capitec charges me R5 and gives me interest.
