Stole My Money!

I bought airtime for R185 using the banking app and the money left my account, but the airtime never loaded. After going to the bank several times, I was given incident: # *** and was told it would be resolved in 5 days. When I went to follow up, the incident had been closed, but there was no resolution. Exactly how do you close an incident when my money wasn’t either refunded or airtime loaded? After that I was told there’s nothing else they could do. This is despicable and I’m appalled that this is how you treat your customers after years of loyalty. I used to always wonder how you were able to have low fees - now I know it’s through *****ing money from your customers! You should honestly be ashamed of yourselves.

After my complaint was handed over to Devan Bailey of Complaints Management, he simply dismissed my complaint yet again and stated that they were simply a middleman and couldn’t be held responsible. The absolute disdain that Capitec has for its customers is truly unmatched. Enjoy the money you stole from me.

Turns out that when you buy airtime using the Capitec banking app, the money is sent to Paysast, and then Paysast sends it to Cell C. Cell C then only credits the customer with airy once they receive the payment from Paysast. Cell C investigated my complaint and found that they never received the payment from Paysast. When I asked Capitec to send me the proof of payment to Cell C from Paysast, they refused and stated that the matter is now closed. So Capitec and their favourite middleman Paysast are in cahoots to ***** money from clients. Capitec = ***itec
