FNB price changes announced

FNB has announced its annual pricing adjustments, making several changes to its fee structures and monthly account charges. The amendments take effect on 1 July 2025.

The bank said its latest pricing review demonstrates its understanding of the financial pressures South Africans face.

“These changes reflect the bank’s focus on delivering value that extends beyond fees to enrich customers’ banking experience and overall lifestyle,” it said.

The bank has made inflation-driven fee adjustments and said it has significantly enhanced the benefits customers receive.

According to Christelle Pretorius, FNB’s personal core banking CEO, FNB’s customers have come to expect support and assistance in their daily financial lives.

“Our customers expect more than competitive pricing,” said Pretorius.

“These latest adjustments reinforce our commitment to providing clear, understandable, and affordable banking solutions that deliver genuine value.”

FNB has also made several changes to its eBucks rewards programme. According to FNB eBucks CEO Pieter Woodhatch, the programme aims to address customer lifestyle needs and financial priorities.

“eBucks is central to the integrated value we offer our customers across FNB and RMB Private Bank,” he said.

“We’ve made great strides in tailoring our rewards to cater to the real needs of consumers across all income segments, through the smart use of consumer insights.”

According to Woodhatch, the eBucks programme has given customers R2.2 billion worth of rewards over the past year.

Through its partnership with Pick n Pay, it has given away 3.4 million “99c bread offer” vouchers since it launched in 2024 September 2024.

“Additionally, R295 million in eBucks was paid for spend at Engen and R98 million in eBucks spend at clicks in the last 12 months,” says Woodhatch.

“eBucks plays a vital role in helping customers across all life stages and income levels stretch their monthly budgets for necessities such as groceries, airtime, fuel, clothing, and travel.”
