FNB Global Account Card

I have a USD global account, I just opened up a Euro account - do I use the same card or get a new one?
 
Actually, if my Lounge Pass still works on the USD one then I'm good. Will use my Bank Zero card - fees are quite low.

If you order via the app, it usually takes 2-4 working days. You should be fine

Thanks, for some odd reason I thought I could use the same card for different currencies (until I realised that I couldn't).

It will.

I am off to Serbia next week. Used the Euro one in France last but will do the following.

FNB Global account for lounge in Qatar and Serbia.
Capitec for swiping
Investec for ATM up to R2800 as Investec only charges conversion fees and zero ATM fees. Ill likely only pull R1000 worth of local currency at a time and swipe Capitec as most places do card anyway.

Isn't it cheaper to use the Global Card for swipes because of the 4% eB earn (if you're on level 5)?

To clarify:
Premier - the global account is free, but if a global debit card is ordered for the account; the annual charge applies (eg. 20USD a year) even if you cancel the card.

Private - the global account and one global debit card in your currency of choice is included in the monthly account fee. However if you get a second currency, the annual card fee applies to the second card.

Hello all.

Is this still true for private clients?

I'm trying to find out, but cant seem to find out the answer anywhere.
I basically want to know if 1 global debit card is free (included in my monthly fee)

Don't know but that one 20usd even if charged is worth it. Best to call fnb
 
Two questions:
1. Do you get Lounge visits with a virtual card on the Global Account?
2. Can you have a Global Account as your only FNB product? I want to close my Easy Account.
 
I've used the physical global card extensively in the EU. I haven't tried the virtual route but I can tell you that half the time the service desk consultants look very confused when presented with a global card. I would say it's going to be a struggle with a virtual card

I tried to register the virtual card on the Lounge key app and it was not recognised. The real card was accepted. One card is free if you have private account and above. A second card in another currency is charged. I am not sure if you can have a global account without any other account with FNB. You can call FNB to ask that.

Worked like a charm.

While nothing special, definitely beats sitting around in those airport seats

Hi kabal. My husband and I have 8hr and 4hr stopovers in Dubai with a return trip to NZ. What Lounges did you use in Dubai airport please? How was it? TIA

I think it was the Gallery, cannot remember, was a couple of years ago.

It's fine, certainly better than sitting in random airport seats, and its "free"
