Ratings and reviews

The new feature that requires you to take a selfie every time you are making a once off payment is really annoying (it looks like this happens when you make payments from a certain minimum amount). Imagine if you have to make multiple once off payments? This feature is just unnecessary and complicates the payment process. If you can implement a "working" biometric authentication and then enforce the same auth - the experience would be much better.

When I open the app, right when I'm about to type the 5 digits pin the app closes the keybord and I have to reopen the keybord to type. Sometimes this happens after inserting the first digit of the Pin. This is very irritating and it's been a long time. I was hoping that you are going to fix it long time ago since you have a lot of updates each and every week. Please guys

I'm again having a situation where when I'm making a payment on the app it pays it 2 or 3 times over. Last time I had to go into the bank and get the receiver off my funds to give my money back. It happened again last night when I paid the school fees it went off twice. Contact me Capitec because this is a big problem if multiple payments are made when the intention was for a single payment.
