Capitec lists on A2X

The biggest bank in South Africa by customers, Capitec, has received approval for a secondary listing on A2X Markets. 

Capitec ordinary shares will be available for trade on A2X from Monday, 7 September 2026.

This secondary listing on A2X is expected to broaden investor access to Capitec’s ordinary shares by providing an additional regulated trading venue, supporting liquidity in the bank’s ordinary shares.

Capitec will retain its primary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, and its issued share capital will remain unchanged.

Capitec CFO Grant Hardy said the company’s secondary listing on A2X supports its commitment to creating value for shareholders by providing access to an additional trading venue and enhanced liquidity.

A2X CEO Kevin Brady said his company is pleased to welcome Capitec to A2X. 

“Capitec has established itself as one of South Africa’s leading banking groups, and its listing further strengthens the diversity and depth of the A2X market,” Brady said.

Capitec will join a number of South African banking groups with secondary listings on A2X, including Absa, Investec, Nedbank, and Standard Bank.

With a market capitalisation of R541.34 billion on the JSE at the time of writing, Capitec is also South Africa’s most valuable bank, vying with FirstRand, valued at R537.56 billion, for the top spot.

A2X Markets has 184 listed instruments, with a combined market capitalisation of R9.4 trillion, with Capitec set to become number 185.
