Capitec, South Africa's largest retail bank with over 26 million active clients, plans to add a secondary listing on A2X Markets next week. Currently valued at R532 billion on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), the move aims to enhance investor access and liquidity. A2X, a licensed stock exchange launched in 2017, already lists over 160 securities. Capitec will maintain its primary listing on the JSE and join other major banks like Absa and Standard Bank on A2X. The decision follows Capitec's strong financial performance, including a 23% rise in headline earnings to R16.8 billion and asset growth to R263.3 billion.
