Michelle Gritsch, Support Systems Head, provides us with some context to what she does.
“Support systems in Capitec relate to everything that we use internally within the bank with support functions such as finance, HR, procurement, logistics, data and even facilities management.”
Judy Smit is the Product Line Head of Electronic Payment Systems at Capitec. “In our context that refers to any payment that’s not a card payment. So, if you go onto your app and want to pay a beneficiary, have a salary paid into your account or a debit order going off from your account, it’s all seen as electronic payments.”
Both have been in the industry long enough to have witnessed the transformation.
“I started working at a bank back in 1999 so that’s a long time ago. Back then there were very few women in any kind of leadership or managerial positions, and these days it’s not like that at all any more,” shared Judy.
