Capitec Bank Holdings Limited has received approval for a secondary listing on A2X Markets, with its ordinary shares set to begin trading on the exchange on 7 September 2026.
A2X is a licensed South African stock exchange launched in October 2017 to introduce competition to a market historically dominated by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).
Capitec said the secondary listing would give investors access to an additional regulated trading venue, increasing shareholder choice and potentially supporting liquidity in its shares.
The banking group will retain its primary listing on the JSE. Its issued share capital will remain unchanged.
“Our secondary listing on A2X supports our commitment to creating value for shareholders by providing access to an additional trading venue,” Capitec chief financial officer Grant Hardy said. A2X has argued that competition between exchanges can improve execution and reduce trading cost.
A2X chief executive Kevin Brady said: “We are pleased to welcome Capitec to A2X. Capitec has established itself as one of South Africa’s leading banking groups and its listing further strengthens the diversity and depth of the A2X market.”
Capitec joins several South African banking groups with secondary listings on A2X.
According to A2X data, shares worth R16.81 billion were traded on the exchange in July 2026. The combined market capitalisation of companies listed on A2X was close to R12 trillion during the month.
A2X is regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority and the Prudential Authority of the South African Reserve Bank under the Financial Markets Act.
