- Understand What a Debit Order Is
A debit order is an agreement that allows a company to withdraw money from your bank account automatically, usually for things like insurance, loans, or subscriptions.

To cancel a debit order, start by opening the Capitec Bank app on your smartphone. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version for smooth performance. Log in securely using your PIN or biometric login. Once you are logged in, you will see your main account dashboard.

From the main screen, tap on the Transact option. This menu allows you to perform different transactions such as sending money, buying airtime, and managing debit orders.
- Select “Debit Orders”
Scroll down and tap on Debit Orders. You will see a list of all the debit orders linked to your account. Each debit order will display the name of the company, the amount deducted, and the date it usually goes off.
- Choose the Debit Order to Cancel
From the list, select the debit order you want to cancel. Review the details carefully to ensure you’re cancelling the correct one. Tap Stop Debit Order or Dispute Debit Order depending on your situation.
