An electronic fund transfer (EFT) from Capitec to Standard Bank typically takes 2-3 business days to reflect in the recipient’s account.
This timeframe excludes weekends and public holidays, which can cause a delay.
If the transfer is initiated on Friday, for instance, it might not show up in the Standard Bank account until Tuesday or Wednesday of the following week.
Capitec offers an immediate payment option for an additional fee, but this service has specific timeframes and might not be available for all transfers.
Things that May Affect Your Standard Bank to Nedbank Transfer
Business Days: The transfer only occurs on weekdays (Monday-Friday), excluding weekends and public holidays.
A Friday Capitec transfer might not reach Standard Bank until the following Tuesday.
Time of Initiation: If you initiate the transfer after Capitec’s cut-off time, it might not be processed until the next business day, adding a day to the transfer time.
Immediate Payment Option: Capitec offers an expedited transfer option for a fee, but it might not be available for all transfers and may have its own processing timeframe.
System Errors: Technical glitches or maintenance on either Capitec or Standard Bank’s systems can delay transfers.
Account Verification: Banks may hold transfers for additional checks, especially for first-time transfers between accounts or large amounts.
Available Funds: If the Capitec account has insufficient funds to cover the transfer amount, it will not be processed until sufficient funds are available.
Public Holidays: Public holidays that fall on a business day will halt the transfer process until the next business day.
Weekend Transfers: Transfers initiated over weekends are typically not processed until the following business day.
Transfer Type: Certain transfers, like international transfers, may have longer processing times due to additional checks and regulations.
Bank Server Load: During peak banking hours or on days with a high volume of transactions, transfers may take slightly longer to process due to increased server load.
