Stay ahead of scammers this year

The start of a new year brings fresh opportunities to make smarter financial choices. But watch out for scammers who are also coming up with new ways to trick you out of your
money.

Don’t worry, we’re here to help you slam the scams with these easy tips to protect your personal info and money:

1. Safeguard your info: Your PIN, passwords and account details are private. We’ll never ask for them through phone, SMS or email
2. Always verify if it’s Capitec: Use our app's call verification feature to confirm it's us. Never share your banking details or act on instructions to transfer money or stop fraud
3. Look before you click: Scammers use urgent messages to trick you into clicking links or sharing sensitive info. Don’t click on links asking for personal or banking details
4. Check marketplace items: Don’t pay for anything you haven’t seen in person, and if
   you’re selling, confirm payment before handing over your items
