So I went to Capitec

[Micdew]

Got an sms, went to the bank to ask and did it. My cc expired but it was replaced for free. No charges on account and branch manager confirmed.

Yes CC card replacement fee is in the monthly fee you pay.

I couldn't give 2 SH's about BEE related matters, but it seems Capitec were real bully's based on this article:

How the state capture project washed up on Capitec’s door

A judgment handed down on Tuesday doesn’t read well for the bank.

A business being a bully, sounds about right. Most business will take care of themselves first.

Has anyone installed and activated the new Capitec app?

Capitec Bank – Apps on Google Play

Do all your banking on our secure app, with no data charges on most SA networks

play.google.com

Capitec has done their usual cryptic thing by making it just about impossible to know exactly what steps to take to activate the app, seems I need to get back into stone age mode and drive all the way to the bank just to activate their rubbish app..

Nope, not required. Just installed it and it worked. Maybe something went wrong during the activation?

I just installed now too. Very simple process

Do you still have to register in branch to use the app? What if you already have a token? Can you keep using that or will it invalidate it?

Token or app, can't have both.

You had the existing app installed/activated and then installed the new app alongside the old app.... you opened the new app and you logged straight in?

I have a feeling the issue I have is linked to the Capitecs poorly designed sms verification system which only works with the stock messaging app.

Your email must be verified before you continue. It works with any messaging app I use the open source QKSMS app https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.moez.QKSMS/. Just send off the sms and bob's your uncle.

Biometrics. Finally!

Token or app, can't have both.

And to add, if you do want to do normal internet banking once you have switched to the mobile app, you can create a token number in the mobile app.

Thanks, nice looking app, how do you verify your email or check if it's verified?
