If you have an FNB bank account in South Africa, but you haven’t registered for online banking yet, then you’re missing out on so many amazing features. I wrote this tutorial to make registering for an online banking profile as simple as possible.
What you’ll need to setup your online banking:
- Your ATM pin and card number. *I recommend using these details.
- Or you could also use your FNB account number.
Here’s how to set up your FNB online banking step-by-step:
- First, go to the FNB login page here.
- Click on the small ‘register’ button to the left of the ‘login’ button at the top right of your screen.
- Now you to the left, select ‘Register with my card and ATM pin details.’ If you don’t have a card, you can also register with your account number. Just make sure you select that option before continuing.
- Insert your card number and ATM pin in the provided spaces.
- Check the ‘terms and conditions’ box.
- Click on the ‘Continue’ button at the bottom right.
- Follow the prompts to complete.
Once you have successfully registered for online banking, I highly recommend that you connect your mobile device to your profile. Keep reading to find out how.
Link Your Mobile Device To FNB Online Banking With The FNB App
The FNB app, in my opinion, is far ahead of any other banking app in South Africa. It makes earning eBucks a lot easier, it allows you to confirm transactions using just WIFI instead of the outdated OTP method, which is especially useful if you travel often, and it gives you the freedom to perform ANY banking task.
Here’s how you can link your mobile device to FNB online banking:
- First, make sure you download and install the FNB app on your mobile device. You can download the app for your android phone here, or your iPhone here.
- Now once your app is installed, open it and click on the ‘Set up my banking app.’
- Select ‘I have Online Banking.’
- Insert your online banking username. This is the same name you use to login to your online banking.
- You’ll now be asked for your card details and pin. Use any card that’s tied to your online banking.
Done. Your FNB App should now be installed on your mobile device and linked to your online banking profile.
Verify Your Mobile Device And FNB App On Online Banking:
Now that you have set up and linked your mobile app to your online banking profile, you’ll need to verify your mobile device and FNB App before you can start using the app. Here’s how:
- Log in to your online banking here.
- On the top left, click on the hamburger ‘menu.’ Make sure you select the right one, there are two ‘menu’ options on the front page. Don’t select the orange one.
- Click on ‘Online banking settings.’
- Then click on ‘Banking.’
- Next to ‘My Devices and Browsers’ click on ‘View.’
- Here’s you’ll see all the devices connected to your online banking profile and if they’re verified or not.
- If the device is not verified click on the ‘verify’ next to the device.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the option next to your device says ‘Delink’ instead of ‘Verify,’ it means that your mobile device has already been verified, however, the FNB App still needs to be verified. Click here to learn how to verify the FNB App.
How to Delink A Mobile Device From FNB Online Baking
Delinking a device is usually useful if you want to sell a mobile phone or if your phone got lost or stolen. If that’s the case I highly recommend you delink your device immediatly.
Here’s how:
- Log in to your online banking here.
- On the top left, click on the hamburger ‘menu.’ Make sure you select the right one, there are two ‘menu’ options on the front page. Don’t select the orange one.
- Click on ‘Online banking settings.’
- Then click on ‘Banking.’
- Next to ‘My Devices and Browsers’ click on ‘View.’
- Here’s you’ll see all the devices connected to your online banking profile. To the right of the device you want to remove, click on ‘Delink.’
The mobile device will now be delinked which means it won’t have access to your online banking profile.
