If you’re seeing Capitec error code 011, it usually means the app can’t verify the installation or your device. You might see a message like “We’re unable to verify your app installation.”
🔍 Common Causes
Unstable internet—weak Wi-Fi or mobile data can block server verification
App installation verification failure—the app may not recognize a legit setup
Device not supported—only Android 5.0+, iOS 11+, and Huawei EMUI 10+ are officially supported. Rooted or jailbroken phones often fail verification
Insufficient permissions—if the app lacks access to storage, phone or network services, the verification may fail
In some cases, Capitec servers or authentication systems are experiencing issues—Error 011 may be accompanied by Error 004
User reports on platforms like HelloPeter and X confirm that while this issue is common, it may not always be due to user error:
“Trying to login to my banking app, and it keeps failing, showing error code 011 and 004.”
“Updated my Capitec app—now I can’t log in. Keeps showing error 011.”
