Saving for emergencies prepares you for unexpected expenses. This can help you get through difficult times and save you from taking credit you can’t afford.

Although we might not like to think about it, a funeral plan should also form part of your planning for unexpected expenses. With the Capitec Funeral Plan you can cover for up to 21 dependants. Apply on our app or visit a branch for help.
Your bank statement can tell you a lot about your banking behaviour and how to manage your money better. Spend some time looking over yours to see what you are spending your money on every month. Identify how much you spent on wants and needs and commit to cut down on your unnecessary expenses.
Use our app to check your transaction history or to email your stamped bank statements.
Credit can improve your life, as long as you are responsible and use it for the right reasons. Before you borrow money, ask why you want to borrow it – is it for a need or a want? Is credit the best way to pay for it? Can you afford the repayments? What must you give up to afford the credit payments? How stable is your income and employment?
Never take more credit than you can afford to pay back. Too much debt can ruin your cash flow meaning you may need to borrow more money. The interest on your debt can add up to hundreds of rands every month.
Consider both the benefits and consequences of a loan, not just how low your instalment will be. You may be paying less per month, but could end up paying more over the total loan term.
