How to Pay Dstv Using Capitec App

by

Let’s get that DStv account topped up! Here’s a detailed walkthrough on how to pay your DStv bill using the Capitec App.

Don’t worry, it’s easier than it seems, and we’ll break it down into simple steps.

Getting Started:

  1. The Capitec App: If you haven’t already, download the Capitec app from the Play Store (Android), App Store (iPhone), or Huawei App Gallery (Huawei). Think of it like your pocket bank branch!
  2. Open an Account (if needed): No Capitec account? No worries! You can open one right within the app. It’s a breeze, like magic (almost!).
  3. Check Your DStv Balance: Before you top up, it’s handy to know how much you owe. Dial *120*68584# on your phone to get the exact amount. This is like checking your fridge before grocery shopping – you don’t want any surprises!

Making the Payment:

  1. Log In: Open the Capitec app and sign in using your username and password. Think of this as unlocking the vault to your financial resources.
  2. Transact Time: Look for the “Transact” section in the app. This is where the money magic happens!
  3. PIN Power: Enter your remote PIN when prompted. This is your secret code to keep things secure, like a fingerprint for your bank account.
  4. Adding DStv (the Beneficiary): Here’s where we tell the app who to send the money to. Scroll down and find “Add,” then choose “Capitec-registered*” as the beneficiary type.
  5. Finding DStv: Type “DStv” in the search bar. You’ll see “Multichoice SA DStv Subs” pop up – that’s the one! Select it.
  6. Account Number: Enter your DStv account number. This can be either your smart card number or your IUC number. Think of it like your DStv ID card.
  7. Notification Time (Optional): You can choose to let DStv know about your payment via email or SMS. Up to you entirely!
  8. Double-Check: Review all the details on the screen to make sure everything matches your DStv account. Double-checking is like proofreading – essential to avoid mistakes!
  9. Creating the Beneficiary: Once everything looks good, a message will pop up asking if you want to save DStv as a beneficiary for future payments. If you plan on paying DStv often through Capitec, selecting “Yes” saves you time next go-around.
  10. PIN it Again: Enter your remote PIN again to confirm. This is like the final key to authorize the payment.
  11. Pay Time! Choose “Pay” to proceed.
  12. Enter the Amount: This is where you tell the app how much to send DStv. The amount should be the same as what you checked earlier (unless you’re treating yourself to a premium package upgrade!).
  13. Final Check: Review all the payment details one last time. Make sure everything is correct before moving on.
  14. Finalize Payment: Select “Pay” to submit your payment request. This is like sending the money on its way!
  15. Confirmation is Key: A final prompt will ask you to confirm the payment. Click “Yes” to seal the deal.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully paid your DStv bill using the Capitec app. Now you can sit back, relax, and enjoy uninterrupted entertainment.

Bonus Tip: If your DStv account is disconnected due to non-payment, you can usually reactivate it using the same *120*68584# code after making the payment. It might take a little while for the reactivation to reflect, so be patient!
