Search for the branch code if you know where the branch is OR just pay it in on any FNB code, the recipient will still get his money.

I just tried adding a new beneficiary using the global code 250655, worked like a charm... what error are you getting 4cer?

trying to do a one off payment, it asks for the branch code, type in the universal one, says its invalid?

will making it any fnb branch code work?

Just add it as a beneficiary...no need to worry about the branch code then. I cannot comment about making payments to 'random' branch codes. The banks need to remove the stupid branch codes in any case....

It should work, but rather play it safe and check with FNB tomorrow.

adding as a beneficiary worked. that is so backward!

If you pay another bank's creditcard then will only work as a beneficiary. also if you paying into a huge company that gets thousands of deposits on a daily basis then it will fall under BENEFICIARY, eg. edgars, foschini, municipalities, dstv, etc.

I had the same problem, this time from Standard Bank. Just wouldn't accept the FNB branch code.

if branch code is 6 digits you got to add 00 at the end.


Edit: its in the small print on the web page. just read each line and you'll see it.

Branch codes act as a second check to make sure the payment is correctly allocated. If that acc number not at the branch than the bank will check first (this is old system)
