capitec credit card 10% interest rate is false advertising.

Ive always thought highly of capitec bank. until I got a credit card and actually used it.

the 10% interest rate becomes 21% if you include insurance fees on a 4 year budget period.

Its a dirty dirty bait and switch. This should be *******.

I will be settling and moving my loan elsewhere asap.

What adds insult to injury is that I settled my car loan with MFC which was at interest rate of 12%. then when refinanced on the credit card the 10% became 21%. really feel done in double.

Thankyou Wendy. So then the insurance fees were optional, and it was just an error on the parts of all the capitec consultants who thought that insurance was not optional on the credit card when indeed it is only mandatory on the loan facitly. Thankyou for cancelling the insurance and reversing the charges.
