Question 1

Which South African banks does FinWise support?

Accepted Answer

Major SA retail banks including Capitec, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank, Absa, Investec, Discovery Bank, plus major SA investment platforms. Coverage changes as providers add institutions. Sign up and search in the connect flow for the live list.

Question 2

Is there an app that links my FNB and Capitec accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FinWise links FNB, Capitec and other South African banks, so you see all your accounts, spending and net worth in one place. Capitec links with a QR code you scan from your Capitec app, so open FinWise on another phone or a computer. Capitec brings in new transactions when you reconnect it, not automatically each day.

Question 3

How can I see all my South African bank accounts in one place?

Accepted Answer

Link each bank in FinWise. Your accounts, cards and investments then appear together, with a net worth across all of them. Most banks update every day. Some, including Capitec, bring in new transactions only when you reconnect them.

Question 4

Can FinWise track my net worth in South Africa?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FinWise adds up bank accounts, cards and investments, including platforms like EasyEquities and Old Mutual, and shows your net worth over time in rand or any other currency. You can add anything else, like a property or a car, as a manual account.

Question 5

Does FinWise only use one South African aggregator?

Accepted Answer

No. FinWise uses multiple data providers for South Africa, so bank linking is not limited to a single partner.

Question 6

Can I link international accounts with my SA banks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for US and Canadian banks. Accounts elsewhere, such as in the UK or Europe, can be added manually, and FinWise shows your net worth across currencies in one place.

Question 7

What if my bank is missing?

Accepted Answer

Try the in-app connect search first. If it is not listed yet, use manual accounts or CSV import, and contact support so we can prioritise coverage.
