Credit in minutes? I don't think so!

Avoid applying for a Credit product with Capitec at all costs. After 12 days of no communication from them, I called to follow up on my telephonically approved credit card application. I was on the phone for nearly 30 minutes, largest part thereof was on hold, only to be informed that they could not verify my employer and I need to start the application from scratch and select other or self employed under the employer ( this would be a lie). Take note, my salary is paid into my Capitec account every single month, and has been for the last 5 years.

I have not seen worse service from a Financial institution in my life.

Had I not decided to follow up, I doubt I would ever get feedback. No attempt was made to contact me to assist them with employer verification.

Absolutely shocking!
