Capitec Bank New Account

According to the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA), we need an original identification document and an original proof of residential address document from you to open an account.

To open your account, we need the following 2 documents from you:

• Original identification document
• Original proof of residential address document
• If you are liable to pay tax in a country other than South Africa we require your foreign tax number

We will scan and keep a record of these for identification and verification purposes.

Important note on all documents

• Certified copies of original documents are only accepted in the case of rental or lease agreements and marriage or birth certificates
• Temporary identity documents or passports are not acceptable
• A valid version of the document means that it must be current and unexpired
• FICA requires that all client information be correct and up to date. It is therefore important that you notify us of any changes to your identity or residential address details.
