How long does Nedbank to Capitec transfer take?
Nedbank To Capitec Transfer Time
Did you make the transfer with the instant and immediate option? Or was it just a normal/standard transfer that you did?
The following points explain them all.
1. Immediate Or Instant Payment Option
A customer of mine using Nedbank once made a payment to my Capitec account and she chose the instant/immediate payment. She screenshots her app to me and it clearly shows that ‘the receiver should wait for about 30 mins for the money to reflect”
However, the money came in just at the 22nd minute!!
Now, this is a real-life experience that I am sharing with you, the onus is the fact that when you are sending money or payment from Nedbank to Capitec and you choose the immediate or instant option, the money reflects within 30 minutes.
In the worst-case scenario, probably owing to network delay or congestion or issues on the part of Capitec, it may extend beyond the 30-minute duration!!
I break down this section below:
- On The App
When you make use of the Nedbank App to Capitec and you enable instant/immediate payment, the money shows within 30 minutes for the receiver.
- Online ( EFT)
On using the online or electronic fund transfer ( EFT) from Nedbank to Capitec, the transfer time is less than 35 minutes as long as the instant or immediate payment option is selected.
- Use of Nedbank Card
For those using the Nedbank card to transfer money usually from the ATM to the Capitec bank account, please note that it takes less than 30 minutes for the money to arrive in the Capitec account provided the instant or immediate option is chosen.
Please note that the transfer time for instant/immediate payment remains less than 30 minutes irrespective of the day it was sent, be it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!!

Choosing this option causes pain and delay and my advice to anyone who wants to receive or collect money from someone using Nedbank is to tell them again and again that they should use the instant or immediate payment!!
