Capitec Limited previously known as Capitec Bank Holdings Limited (market cap: R540 billion), 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.
The secondary listing on A2X is expected to broaden investor access to Capitec’s ordinary shares by providing an additional regulated trading venue, thereby enhancing shareholder choice and supporting liquidity in the Company’s ordinary shares.
The move follows the group’s name change, which became effective on 26 August and was finalised at the end of the month.
Capitec will maintain its primary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), and its overall share capital will remain unchanged.
Under its new name, the finance group believes it is better aligned with the group’s current evolution.
Despite the name change, the company will continue to be listed in the banking sector of the JSE’s financial industry and will retain the same ticker.
“Our secondary listing on A2X supports our commitment to creating value for shareholders by providing access to an additional trading venue and enhanced liquidity,” said Capitec Chief Financial Officer Grant Hardy.
Capitec has joined several South African banking groups with secondary listings on A2X.
A2X is a licensed stock exchange in South Africa, regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority and the Prudential Authority of the South African Reserve Bank under the Financial Markets Act.
It serves as an alternative platform for buying and selling shares.
Companies that already have a primary listing on another exchange, such as the JSE, can list their shares on A2X without changing their overall share capital.
