To create the chat feature, Helm says it worked with Capitec to put the information in the palm of all users\u2019 hands. Anyone with WhatsApp can use MoneyUp Chat by Capitec and can look forward to expanding their knowledge even further as they release more courses through this new and exciting format.<\/p>\n

There are also quick interactive quizzes, which encourage users to test their understanding, with the chance to win data rewards for completing learning.<\/p>\n
