*****ulent acts

Good day, hellopeter

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service I have received regarding my account.

My funds have recently been frozen following a ***** report allegedly made by a client from Absa Bank. Concerned about this matter, I visited a Capitec branch to seek clarity and resolution. During my visit, the consultant reviewed my transaction history and confirmed that there were no suspicious or *****ulent activities on my account.

Despite this, I was not provided with any meaningful assistance or resolution. I requested details of the individual who reported the alleged ***** so that I could take appropriate steps to protect myself and potentially open a case against them. However, Capitec was unable to provide this information or guide me on how to proceed.

Furthermore, when we contacted Capitec’s ***** department, I was advised to return after 48 hours and wait for the person who reported the case to make contact. This response has caused significant frustration and inconvenience, as I am left without access to my funds and without a clear path forward.

As a client, I expected Capitec to support and protect me in resolving this matter promptly and professionally. I kindly request urgent intervention to:

- Resolve the issue and restore access to my funds - Provide clarity on the ***** allegation - Advise me on the necessary steps I can take to protect myself

I trust that this matter will be treated with the urgency it deserves.

Thank you for your attention.

Dear Capitec Bank
There's still no resolution to my problem instead your services has frustrated me even more. Your consultants had promised to fix this matter within 48 hours and now I am being told such issue take upto 21days.

On the 13th of April 2026 when I visited the branch I was told that someone from Absa reported ***** on my account on an amount of 2700, which to my knowledge and the consultant that was assisting didn't appear on the statement. I then went back to the branch again today 15th April 2026, and called from the branch now I am being told that someone from Fnb did *****ulent acts and send money to someone from Absa then that person send 4600 to my account. Myself and the consultant that was helping then responded that there isn't any amount of 4600 that was received nor transferred by me or them into my account or from any of those accounts. And still my money is on hold, for what reason I don't know.

The best solution for me right as a frustrated client of Capitec is go and open a case against my own service provider being Capitec. That way the real perpetrators can be apprehended by the legal force
