Capitec immediate payment times, limit and fee
A Capitec immediate payment usually reflects immediately on the beneficiary’s account. However, according to a recent Twitter reply by a Capitec Bank customer care representative, it may sometimes take up to four hours to reflect.
Several factors can affect the immediate payment times. For instance, it sometimes takes longer if you’re paying a particular beneficiary immediately for the first time. Should your payment take longer than four hours, you may contact Capitec Bank and provide the proof of payment for assistance.
Capitec Bank has a daily limit of R100,000 for immediate payments and the fee is R7.50 per transaction. Most likely, the high limit and flat fee are convenient to most South Africans.
