Getting funds into your account

✅ App     ✅ Website     ❎ Capitec Widget

Once your account is set up and verified the next step to making your first investment is to fund your account.

There are a few ways that you can fund your different accounts. Take a look at the tabs below each of the different account types to see which way suits you best.

ZAR

EFT Credit/Debit Card

The cheapest way to fund your EasyEquities account with zero fees:

  • Log in to your account  

  • Make sure to select your ZAR account on the account selector

  • Select the menu in the top left corner

  • Select Deposits under the My Funds section of the menu

  • Scroll down and use the drop-down menu to select the bank where your bank account is held

  • Use the bank account details in the block below the drop-down menu to make an EFT from your internet banking or banking app

    NB

    EFT deposits may take up to 2-3 business days to reflect in your EasyEquities account. The correct account number must be used as a reference to ensure the funds are allocated to the correct account. The reference number is the full 13 / 14-character account number displayed on the account overview page of the respective account.

TFSA

© EasyEquities. EasyEquities is a product of First World Trader (Pty) Ltd t/a EasyEquities which is an authorized Financial Services Provider (FSP number 22588). All trades on the EasyEquities platform are subject to the legal terms and conditions to which you agree to be bound. The EasyEquities platform enables users to invest in securities which includes whole shares and fractional share rights (FSRs). EasyEquities acts as an agent for the issue of whole shares, where the investor is the registered owner of those shares, entitled to dividends, participation in corporate actions and all the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership.

In respect of FSRs, EasyEquities acts as principal to a contract for difference issued to the investor, where the investor will have a contractual claim against EasyEquities to the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership (price movements and dividends) without having ownership rights in the underlying share. Fractional share rights (FSRs) which are issued through a contract for difference, are an over the counter derivative. Unlike whole shares, FSRs do not carry any voting rights. As the investor makes further investments in FSRs and ultimately ends up with a whole share, the contract for difference is closed out and ownership whole share is delivered to the investor.

The availability of any share on the EasyEquities platform is based on various factors but is not an indication of value and does not mean that any share is an appropriate investment for you.
