Paying for things has become so easy. I remember when I had to carry cash everywhere. Now, I just tap my phone and go. It's like living in the future! Capitec makes it super simple to pay with your phone.

You can tap to pay with your Capitec card on your phone. All you need is the Capitec app and a phone that can do tap and pay. It is very easy to set up and use. This is much safer than carrying your card around.

How to Set Up Tap to Pay with Capitec

Setting up tap to pay on your phone is quick and easy. Here’s how you do it:

1. Open the Capitec App: Make sure you have the latest version of the app.

2. Go to Cards: You will see a list of your cards.

3. Choose Your Card: Select the card you want to use for tap to pay.

4. Tap to Pay: Look for the “Tap to Pay” option and follow the instructions.

5. Set as Default: You can set Capitec as your main payment app. This makes it even faster to pay.

I once forgot my wallet at home when I was out for groceries. I was so stressed. But then I remembered I had set up tap to pay on my phone. I just tapped my phone at the till and paid. It was a lifesaver!

Using Your Virtual Card

When you set up tap to pay, you will also get a Capitec virtual card. This is a digital card that is stored on your phone. It is very safe because the card number is different from your physical card. This means your real card details are never shared with shops. I always use my virtual card for online shopping. It feels much safer.

Where Can You Tap to Pay?

You can use tap to pay wherever you see the contactless symbol. It looks like a Wi-Fi symbol turned on its side. Most shops in South Africa now have this. I use it at the grocery store, at restaurants, and even to pay for petrol.

It's amazing how simple things have become. And speaking of simple, did you know you can earn rewards for simple tasks on your phone? With the Points Castle app, you can take surveys and play games to earn points. You can then use these points to get free vouchers for things like airtime and Takealot.
