So I went to Capitec

Capitec might not have great UI but it does have a good UX.
I'm not convinced, small text links at the bottom of the pages is cumbersome, a global fixed menu with changing subsections is far better than one that changes position and contents all the time
 
By change account do you mean rename? I can still click on the account number and it gives the option to change the name.
Yeah both that and creating new accounts was gone. It's back now.

Why would one want to do this?
There can be reasons... :whistle:

they seriously need to re-do the website, <insert "1996 called" joke here>

it pains me
As long as it works I'm happy with it. Never trade aesthetics for compatibility like many sites do nowadays.
 
So, Capitec now the 3rd biggest bank in the country I hear. Overtook FNB I think.
Nedbank, as far as I know.
Looking to can Fnb and moving to Capitec, since the former can't get my ebucks calculations right.
Can't manage a rewards programme? Well then you can't manage my money.
 
You're joking? Being blocked by that phishing email warning and having to click OK every time you login really grind my gears. Capitec is KISS.

Small price to pay, I'd prefer one barrier on login than having to trail back 2-3 clicks if I want to go from statement to a different account or to go pay someone, every time.

Those name changes does not reflect everywhere, like on the USSD banking :(



Its functional, don't encourage them to mess it up...

It's like I'm talking to a bunch of people over 50, you need to embrace change and allow improvement :D the site is dated and could be improved a LOT in terms of navigation. Cars worked just fine back in the 1920's, but I do like my power steering, fuel efficiency, bluetooth, central locking and electric windows :-)

No it's a irritating price to pay. Hate the new virgin money site aswell. Sure it's much more then the old one but it takes ages to load the application. Might get a Capitec cc just to get away from that.

At least the old crappy virgin site had global navigation, I haven't had to use the new one much as I just keep my VM card as a spare so not sure about the annoying nuances of the new one yet
