As an accountable institution, we must comply with Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) requirements. This means that for identification and verification purposes, clients must provide us with certain personal information and documents to open an account.

1. Original identification document

	Valid Green Barcoded ID/Smart ID card/SA passport	Abridged/unabridged birth certificate of minor/court order/guardian appointment letter from the Master of the High Court
Adult	YES	NO
Minor (under 16 years)*	NO	YES
Parent (for minor)*	YES	NO
Guardian (for minor)*	YES	NO
Supplementary cardholder	YES	NO

	Valid Foreign Passport	Valid permanent residence	Original Salary Slip/Employer letter
Adult	YES	YES	YES
Minor (under 16 years)*	YES	YES	NO
Parent (for minor)*	YES	YES	YES

2. No proof of residential address needed

As part of Capitec’s new approach to FICA requirements, you no longer have to provide a proof of address when you open a Capitec account or apply for credit.

Note: You may be asked to provide supporting documents in order to complete the process
