Although the steps listed above is arguably the best way to purchase airtime if you are a customer of Capitec, there are several other ways to carry out the transaction:
1. You Can Also Buy Airtime Online With Capitec
Apart from the app, you can also buy airtime with Capitec online through different methods, including using your Capitec Internet Bank. To do this, simply going to the bank’s internet banking platform and then sign in using your account number/username and Password/Remote PIN.
Once you are signed in, you can carry out various activities that include buying airtime, SMS bundle, and data.
2. Capitec Customers Can Also Use USSD Codes
Capitec, like other banks, allows customers to carry out some transactions using the bank’s USSD codes. To access this service, dial *120*3279#. With the code, you can do many things, including accessing credit facility transfers, viewing your available account balances, buying airtime or electricity, and transferring money.
To purchase airtime, one may not need to use the aforementioned USSD code since you can dial the code *130*3279#. It is important to note that apart from the convenience of using this USSD code, it is also free of charge.
Capitec supports the following networks 8ta, Cell C, MTN, and Vodacom for direct airtime top-up in the country.
3. Capitec Card Can Be Used To Buy Airtime
Another way you can buy airtime without necessarily using your Capitec app is through the bank’s card. However, it is worthy of note that this process is longer than all others, and it may not be the most convenient.
For this method, you will need to head to the network’s website which airtime you want to buy and then navigate to the buy airtime option. You will be required to log in and then use your card to buy either airtime, bundle, or even SMS bundle.
It Is Also Easy To Buy Airtime on Capitec for Someone Else
In the same way that you can put airtime for yourself on the bank’s app or using the internet banking option, you can also buy airtime, data, and SMS bundles for anyone you may want on any network.
The process for buying airtime for someone else on Capitec is the same as buying for yourself, but the numbers to put in will vary, and the network to select will depend on what the other person is using.
