From November Capitec bank will also sell-through discounted DStv Stream packages in an expansion of its existing partnership with MultiChoice through which it is already offering its streaming service Showmax to consumers for cheaper.
Gerrie Fourie, Capitec CEO, during the bank's financial results presentation on Tuesday, revealed that Capitec will soon add another value-added service for Capitec clients in the form of discounted DStv Stream payments.
Capitec already sold almost 50 000 discounted Showmax vouchers since mid-August after it introduced the option, and will expand it to DStv Stream discounts from November.
Since mid-August Capitec has offered the Showmax Entertainment package on all devices for R49 per month.
In response to a media query MultiChoice tells TVwithThinus "When MultiChoice partnered with Capitec in
August, it marked the start of a collaborative effort to offer greater value to
our customers".
"The partnership has already provided Capitec clients with
half-price Showmax subscriptions through the Capitec banking app."
"We're pleased
to announce that from next month, Capitec clients will also benefit from
discounted access to DStv Stream plans, giving them more ways to enjoy premium
entertainment at a reduced cost. This partnership reflects our commitment to
making quality content more accessible and affordable for all our customers.
More details will follow soon."
