Logic behind Captice's long lines remains a mystery
Capitec Bank has the highest number of ATM-related complaints, according to the latest figures from the Ombudsman for Banking Services (OBS).
According to consumer journalist Wendy Knowler, speaking to CapeTalk, Capitec Bank's ATMs are always crowded.
"This is puzzling because ATMs are the most time-consuming, expensive, and unsafe way for Capitec customers to withdraw money. Customers can withdraw money at the tills of Shoprite, Checkers, Pick n Pay, or Boxer for a flat fee of R1.60 after shopping, which is much faster, cheaper, and safer."
Following up with Capitec, Knowler discovered the bank itself would like the current ATM trend to change.
