FNB eBucks update

FNB's loyalty rewards programme eBucks has continued to record substantial growth in 2026, with points payouts and usage rising.

That is according to FNB eBucks CEO Pieter Woodhatch, who provided MyBroadband with an update on the programme's performance in 2026.

I stopped trying to chase down ebucks after they parted ways with checkers.

 

[Bad Ballie]

Haven't bothered with eBucks since they started changing the scheme and points on a regular basis. No one gets to control or shape my behaviour.

Same. moving everything to another bank.

 

[mastercylinder]

Which bank to move to though?

 

[TofuMofu]

They show growth but the general concensus is people are moving away?

I'm busy moving my stuff to another bank. Haven't been bothered with eBucks since their November sneaky change.

clickbait Ai written article???

sentiment about Ebucks isnt good but somehow MYBB thinks people like Ebucks?

eBucks have been so watered-down it's not even worth taking about anymore so FNB is now forced to publish drivel like this to try and drum up interest. Sad!

Ebucks done for me after they left checkers for shitty PnP. Air Fairs restricted, Car hire is NOT cheaper through them anymore, istore restricted. Downgraded my monthly account as well. They want you to take insurance and other things to get eBucks. Looking at other options.

Agreed. They must have paid for this. Maybe they used their ebucks

Investec seems to be the way to go.

I'm not sure if RMB offers better service under the FirstRand umbrella. Perhaps some here might have some experience, but FNB have given up on meaningful customer service. I think the amateur-hour people they're calling COOs are focussed on taking cost out of the business and that is the only area they're meaningfully and deliberately hurting.

Don't care anymore. The few I get I use to buy Lotto tickets.

 

[SkillBeatsAll]

Used to get +-600 bucks a month. Now it’s <100. Planning a move to Discovery, or Revolut if they launch soon enough

Article prepping clients for some more unpopular changes to come. Expect another one or two before eBucks changes are announced.

What banks are people changing to if you are unhappy with FNB?

 

[dogface]

I got a push notification on my app to 'diarize payday' at 5pm on 15th. After payday has already happened!

Moved back to Capitec bank. All these bank reward programs are drying up and making you jump through more and more hoops. I take the 1% I get back and let it pay my bank fees and just move on.

 

[dogface]

On the positive side, I like Pick pay. I like the smart shopper program. But ASAP aren't as fast as checkers
