The problem with savings pocket is that it doesnt work on credit cards.. so it kinda defeats the purpose where the bank encourages spending on credit cards and not debit cards(because they get more transaction fees this way)

Does anyone know if funds can be paid into this account e.g. Person A pays money into the linked savings pocket of Person B using the account number of the linked savings pocket? I'm sure this is possible, but I was just curious.

Can one transfer money from the Easy account to the Pocket account without paying any fees? Because I'd just transfer money out of the pocket account on a daily basis.

Yup, works 100% as long as the person send the cash is also with FNB.
I've had issues with cash deposits I to my savings pocket, where the bank called Me prior.
Yep, no charge

Thanks, took the plunge and transferred 10% over, no fees transferring in either direction.

A few questions:
1. How does one adjust the bank your change allocation (internet banking I suppose, cause the feature ain't available on the App)?
2. Is there a limit of how much you can transfer into Savings Pocket?
3. What is the official interest rate or is it client linked, I see mine (under Detailed Balance) fluctuates, it's currently showing 1.40000% whilst earlier today it was showing 1.67000%?

1. Bank Accounts > Savings Pocket... More > Account Settings > Bank Your Change... Manage
2. Nope... but if you going to save more than 100K rather open a Money Maximiser Account
2. 5.25% for R75 000 up to R100 000

Alternatives for someone with FNB that might need immediate access to funds?

FNB doesn't have that anymore it's just the savings account now.

It's effectively the repo rate. If your bond is paid up then this route makes sense for immediate access...
