Capitec continues to innovate, and its new game Livin’ It Up helps customers manage their money and take control of their dreams.

Capitec is a name well-known to South Africans as a pioneer in the banking arena, with a relentless drive to innovate and bring enhanced products to millions of satisfied customers.

From its inception in 2001, Capitec has grown to become South Africa’s largest digital bank – powering unique solutions that help customers manage their money directly from their desktop or smart device alongside traditional ATMs and physical branches. The bank’s Global One account offers solutions for customers ready to not only transact, but further save, insure , and access credit options.

With over 14 million clients, Capitec has continued to grow its digital presence and offerings, and its latest release is set to help South Africans beat the lockdown blues – it’s called Livin’ It Up, and it’s a brand new mobile game which allows customers to master balancing careers, happiness, and financial dreams.

Produced by Capitec Bank in collaboration with Sea Monster, Livin’ It Up aims to teach players money management skills as they explore fun and exciting stories based on real financial challenges and opportunities.

Players will be able to take control of unique characters with different occupations, dreams, and goals – and by making decisions through exciting mini-games where they can swipe, tap and drag their way to success; all the while learning about managing their money and at the same time having fun.

“The game simulates real life, where in-game characters are required to use limited resources to balance their immediate needs and wants with what they want to achieve in the long-term”, says Jean Rossouw, Head of Financial Education at Capitec Bank. “The main goal of the game is to reach your (character’s) savings goals, and each character comes with different goals based on their own unique bio.”
