You can print them free or charge from your internet banking at the branch. Then they will stamp for you at the branch.

This is valid and does not count against you on ebucks.

Did this over the weekend, was very much impressed with FNB's service.
 
Okay what am I doing wrong? I have an autopayment setup for my CC to pay the "Full amount" on the 30th of each month. But I still see interest being charged. Do I need to change "Full amount" to "Actual balance settlement" or something?

I have that same prob, the stupid auto payment DID NOT go off.

+1! It will also not cost your an arm and a leg. I was not aware of this and asked the nice teller lady for a 6 month statement...Cost me nearly R200 for the statement (Pay per page)!!!!

They discounted it when I complained by about 40-50%, Luckily they accepted ignorance as an excuse and softened the blow.

The last 3 statements is always free. From month 4 onwards you pay per page. So you complained not for understanding the rules, or what they charged ?

Be wise, every statement that are send per email, save it to your harddrive. When you need statements, print it out and go get a stamp if needed ! Problem solved !

If you use Gmail then there is no need to save, you can store a lot of statements there and they are searchable.
 
if you don't use gmail as your primary, it's just worth setting one up and setting a rule on your existing mail server to forward a copy of all incoming mail to the spare gmail account.
 
Thanks guys for the advice earlier. Walked into FNB branch, immediately found the vacant internet banking computer. Printed 3 months worth of statements. A helpful employee then fetched the printing and bank stamped them. All-in-all, 5 minutes and zero cents.

Excellent advice [myBB] and great service [FNB].

Edit: ..and RL unaffected.

That's great. I wish I had known that when getting a travel visa last year, paid a small fortune for them to supply me a valid statement.

Next time buddy. Exactly the reason I need it. Canadian visa - they stipulate an want an endless list of information about you and proposed travels in their country. Crazy, and fark expensive.

Yeah, the irony is, neither my wife or I needed the visa because we have dual passports, but our daughter has SA passport only, so the visa was for her and as my dependent, I had to supply all the stuff for normal visa application. Next time we leave her at home and go away just the two of us ;)

How does this work? Printers not accessible by customers to avoid abuse?

It prints to a printer situated in the official FNB side of the branch - not accessible to us. The lady then fetched the print work for me.

The only issue is when you choose to print the PDF, the print manager shows about 20 printers, probably all the networked printers in the branch. I had to ask which printer to select. In my case it was called "sales".

I had the same experience. Luckily the FNB I went to had a friendly tannie to assist
 
I just had a cashier try to put my groceries through on budget and it got declined due to insufficient funds. I never use my budget and as such have it set to a hundred rand or something stupid.

Please tell me I wont be penalised!

You will not be penalised the transaction did not complete. Mine is set to R0 so they can try but it will always decline.

I've had this happen to me several times. I think the cashiers do it on purpose just to mess with you. It's pretty difficult to accidentally select budget and a period on the pos devices without noticing.

I've also set it to zero just to stop those issues.
 
Why dont you guys just insert the card yourself and go through the menus? Thats what I do, and then there is no mistake.
