The following are the breakdowns:
- Use of Capitec banking App
After you download Capitec App and use it to transfer money from your Capitec App to FNB and you chose instant or immediate payment, the recipient gets the money within 10 minutes. In worst case scenario probably owing to slow or bad internet connections, it does not exceed 30 minutes.

2. Money Sent From Capitec To FNB Normal/Standard Without Immediate Payment
90% of people use to send money from Capitec to FNB just normally because they do not know about the instant payment or probably they are too stingy to pay the instant payment fees.
On a personal note, I use immediate payment to avoid any sort of delay and to build trust/confidence from the recipients I am sending money to.
The following are the transfer times between Capitec to FNB when you send payment normally:
- Use of Capitec banking App
When you transfer money from Capitec App to FNB normally i.e. without the instant or immediate option, it takes anytime within 24 hours for the money to reflect and that is if you send it before 4pm. If you make the transfer or payment after working hours/days, it takes within 24-36 hours for the payment to be received by the recipient.
The charges for this normal transfer or payment from your Capitec App to FNB cost you R2, and please understand that the definition of working days and hours is 8am on Monday till 4pm on Friday.
- Use of Capitec EFT ( Online or Internet)
When you log into your internet banking profile and make payment without instant payment option, the transfer time for the payment to reflect in FNB is within 24 hours.
The charges for this is also R2.
- Use of Physical Branch
I do not understand why you will want to go into the branch, probably the money you want to send is too much, however, if you chose this option, let us dig in.
When you enter into a physical Capitec branch and send money to an FNB account, the transfer time is within 24 hours and you will be charged R10 service fees.
Honestly, just make use of your App or internet banking instead of wasting your time and paying huge fees going to the branch!!
- Use of Capitec SST to Make Payment to FNB
Capitec SST means Capitec self service transactions. You cannot perform Capitec SST from home or online but rather you will need to go to a physical Capitec branch and make use of the SST terminals there.
Using the Capitec SST to make payment to FNB costs you R5 and the transfer time is typically within 24 hours. From my own assessment, this is also a waste of time, unless you are sending lots of money and you do not want any staff to assist you when you are inside the branch.
