False advertising - Compulsory credit insurance for credit card account
I app**** for credit card online and then requested a call back to finalise the application. When the consultant phoned and I enquired about the costs, she told me I need to take out credit insurance balance protection as it is compulsory. Alternatively, I need to provide them with proof of any current credit insurance policy i already have with another service provider. This is absolute non-sense. No other bank makes it compulsory except African Bank. Furthermore, nowhere on the Capitec website or brochures does it say you need compulsory credit insurance. In fact, it only says for term loans that this is a requirement. This is false advertising so be careful of Capitec as all their products have catches which is not disclosed even in their T&Cs. Will also be reporting this to Advertising Regulatory Board.
