Quarterly Pillar 3 disclosure in terms of Directive 10 of 2025
Directive 10 of 2025 published by the Prudential Authority on 11 August 2025
informed banks that the Pillar 3 disclosure requirements have been removed from
Regulation 43 of the regulations relating to banks, which requirements have now
been specified in this directive.
In terms of the requirements, the consolidated group is required to disclose
quantitative information on its capital adequacy, leverage and liquidity ratios
on a quarterly basis.
Impact of regulatory changes
South Africa implemented the finalised Basel III post-crisis reforms, also
commonly referred to as the Basel IV regulatory framework, on 1 July 2025. As
part of the new framework, banks adopted the new standardised approach (NSA) for
operational risk. This transition had a significant impact on the operational
risk weighted assets of both Capitec and its subsidiaries (Capitec Group) and
Capitec Bank, primarily due to the absence of a cap on the fee income component
within the NSA calculation.
As a result, Capitec Group's operational risk weighted assets increased from
R14.665 billion in May 2025 to R29.444 billion in August 2025. Similarly,
Capitec Bank's operational risk weighted assets increased from R13.650 billion
to R27.772 billion over the same period.
On 6 June 2025, the Prudential Authority issued Directive 2 of 2025, requiring
banking groups to deduct from their consolidated qualifying capital and reserves
any equity or other regulatory amounts held in insurance entities. Additionally,
banking groups must remove from their balance sheets any related assets,
liabilities, or third-party investments associated with such insurance
subsidiaries or entities conducting insurance business.
Previously, only licensed insurance entities were subject to deconsolidation,
which is why Capitec Life Limited has always been deconsolidated. However, the
new directive extends this requirement to all insurance businesses, regardless
of licensing status.
In the current quarter, Capitec Group has deconsolidated equity amounting to
R3.761 billion related to Capitec Ins Proprietary Limited ("Capitec Ins") from
its consolidated qualifying capital and reserves. Capitec Ins holds in-force
funeral and credit life insurance policies through contractual cell captive
arrangements with registered insurance companies. These cell captive
arrangements are closed to new business, as the group has transitioned to
selling credit life, funeral, and life cover policies under its own insurance
licence via Capitec Life Limited.
The implementation of the NSA contributed to the decrease in the capital
adequacy ratios for both Capitec Group and Capitec Bank. The deconsolidation of
Capitec Ins decreased the capital adequacy ratio for Capitec Group during the
current quarter.
The Capitec Group and Capitec Bank capital, liquidity and leverage positions at
the end of the second quarter of the 28 February 2026 financial year (FY) end
are set out below:
