In short: EasyEquities is an online investment platform you can open or link from the Capitec app (Explore → Live Better → EasyEquities widget). EasyEquities says there are no registration fees and no minimums to start. Standard brokerage is 0.25% per trade; linked Capitec-widget trades get a 20% brokerage discount (0.2% on those trades, per EasyEquities support). A monthly Thrive fee may apply — confirm the live cost profile. Investing can lose money. Not financial advice.

Open or link via Capitec
- Capitec app → Explore → Live Better → Widgets → EasyEquities → Add
- Create a new EasyEquities account or log in to link an existing one

Main fees (confirm live)
- Brokerage: 0.25% per transaction on the EasyEquities site/app (1c minimum per their fees article)
- Capitec widget: 20% off that brokerage on widget trades → 0.2%
- Thrive fee: R25/month on their fees page, waived in stated cases (e.g. Thrive Level 3, under 21 or over 65) — confirm current rules
- Other activity fees (cards, vouchers, transfers out, etc.) appear on the EasyEquities cost profile
Funding
You can fund from the Capitec app once linked. EasyEquities notes ordinary deposits can take up to 48 hours to show unless you use instant buy/transfer options they offer. Confirm in-app.
What this page will not do
- Promise returns or “best shares”
- Invent older “R5 only” marketing if the live platform simply says no minimums
- Replace EasyEquities’ full cost profile or FSCA disclosures
