    No.

    Well I already said it doesn't make much sense. That being said: A facility on an SA account allows for SA debit card purchases. The cheque card introduces an international angle. Maybe thats what triggers the second credit check. I doubt it costs the bank much so its probably just for good measure.

    lol - you didn't follow the thread. He wouldn't have noticed had i not mentioned it before he applied for the card. Its buried in one of the bazzillion forms they ask you to sign.

    Hey guys, I got my Cheque card! , I am going through the little document that came with it, and it says I will be charged an annual card fee. How much is this fee? Do they charge it to students? (I have the Student Achiever Account).

    Weird. I don't think I got charged anything. Was a while back though.

    Remember to be careful with it...not much protection on it compared to a CC. I used mine only for steam.

    Thanks for the information, I hope they will not charge me an annual fee Although, I wouldn't mind if it was really small like less than R20. I will definitely be careful with it. Will only use well-known online shops with it.

    It also says that transactions of R200 or less may not require a pin, and that there is a fee for paying with it online to a website that uses other currency (currency conversion fee).

    Just got mine last week. I've only loaded cash into the account so far but it's really quick to apply for and set up. I have an Absa student account which, when I was applying for they promised was able to be used online but apparently the security service they use (3D Secure) is only used on credit cards. So far I've only heard good things about it. still looking for something worth buying online.

    The alternative is FNB but apparently their bank charges are a bit pricey but then again you get ALL the services

    Does your bank card have your name(s) on it? My debit card doesn't have my name(s) on it and it doesn't work online anywhere.

    Names is not the issue,
    You need a Visa or Mastercard for online purchases. With Expiry dates and CVS number at the back.

    I've used my Capitec card to purchase on eBay twice already and do other purchases like computicket.It's really cool and easy to do.

    Capitecs new cards have card reader chips in it(for extra sercurity),your name and surname on the card as well as your bank account number.It looks very nice.
