PayPal is known for simplifying the online shopping experience significantly for consumers worldwide. It makes hopping easier by storing your card details and just asking you for your PayPal credentials before making your purchase.
Capitec’s innovative Global One Card gives clients the benefits of a credit card even without having a credit card. Card holders are able to activate this option by visiting their nearest Capitec branch and getting steps on how to activate their Capitec MasterCard SecureCode. As a card holder you will need to have about R20 available in the account for verification purposes. This money will be deposited back into your PayPal account later. To complete the process, have your email address handy and you need to have internet banking.
