What is PayShap? 

• A digital payment solution designed to make instant payments to and from other banks  
• To make or receive a payment, all you need is a cellphone number (ShapID) 

What is a ShapID?

A unique number that can be used to receive PayShap payments. At Capitec, your ShapID is made up of your cellphone number plus @capitecbank, e.g. 0840000000@capitecbank.  

To receive instant payments from any bank using your cellphone number, you will need to set Capitec as your main bank.  

Here’s how: 

Set Capitec as your main bank on our app:

1. Sign in on our app and tap the menu in the top right corner (3 dots) 
2. Choose Settings and tap PayShap Settings 
3. Set Capitec as your main bank  

Set Capitec as your main bank on  USSD:

1. Dial *120*3279# and select Settings
2. Choose PayShap Settings and accept T&C's

Already set another bank as your main bank? You’ll first need to deregister your Primary ShapID from the other bank before you can set Capitec as your main bank.
