I joined the App in July 2025. easy to use, super fast, no endless updates which can be confusing. I see my investments growing exponentially as well as decreases in my investments when the markets are not good. I had to withdraw from my emergency fund in September 2025. it was quick and there was not paperwork. The only problem is I am unable to deposit using my capitec account. I love this app.

I deposited some money to my franc two months ago, my money is not showing. When it gets fixed I'll give the app five stars

1. There a bug I found where by when I go to Profile>Add Bank Account then try to add my banking details, for some odd reason I cannot be add my account number because the app refreshe when I click account number field, and all the data on other fields gets lost. Then one cannot add their bank account. 2. I Cannot verify cell phone number on the app because it seems their OTP service isn't working, it doesn't send OTP.
