As a security measure, you can only reverse transactions above this amount through Capitec Bank’s direct service. In this case, you can visit a physical unit or call your bank to receive the necessary support.

If the debit order of up to R400 is in your transactions, and the money has left your account, you can start the process to reverse money using your Capitec Bank app.

Step 2: Identify and select the transaction you’d like to reverse

Now that you are already inside your Capitec Bank app, you can proceed and reverse money that has been mistakenly taken out of your account.

Again, select “transact” and then “debt order.” Notice that you can not get reverse a debicheck

Capitec Bank allows you to reverse money transactions on their mobile app for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Fraudulent transactions: If you notice any unauthorized transactions on your account, you can use the app to reverse the transaction and get your money back.
  • Payment errors: If there was an error in the amount of a payment you made, you can reverse the transaction and make the correct payment.

It’s important to note that some transactions may not be eligible for reversal. So it’s always a good idea to double-check your transactions before making a payment.

Additionally, Capitec Bank may require additional information or verification before processing a transaction reversal.

Typically, you will receive a response within a few business days confirming whether the reversal was successful or not.

How many days do I have to reverse a money transaction on the Capitec Bank app?

When using the Capitec Bank app, you have a 90-day period from the date of the transaction to initiate a reversal.
