South African billionaire's net worth surges as bank shares hit record highs.
Capitec Bank collaborates with Cisco to enhance digital infrastructure and improve customer experience.
Earlier, between Sept. 6 and 19, his stake increased by R1.68 billion ($95.3 million), lifting the value from R37.94 billion ($2.16 billion) to R39.62 billion ($2.26 billion).
Capitec Bank, led by Michiel Le Roux, is set to relax its credit standards to attract more customers and meet rising demand for credit, marking a strategic shift in its approach to lending amid South Africa’s economic challenges.
This rise from R4.69 billion ($270.22 million) in the same period last year highlights Capitec Bank’s resilience in a tough global economy.
Le Roux's stake in Capitec Bank has increased by $95.3 million in just two weeks, reflecting significant gains.
This follows a $112.3 million loss between May 20 and June 3.
This ambitious move follows its acquisition of Avafin, a Cyprus-based online lender with operations across Europe and Latin America.
