FNB Bank launches new eBucks offers

FNB is launching a number of new eBucks offers and partnering with more companies to offer more discounts and earning opportunities for customers.

The bank recently rolled out its new eBucks Shop interface for the FNB mobile banking app, allowing customers to spend their eBucks from within their mobile banking platform.

FNB said customers can expect to get up to 40% off on exclusive deals available in the eBucks Shop and the mobile app also allows them to track their purchases and view their order history.

The company has now announced a number of other new changes to the eBucks system, most of which expand the current offerings available to customers.

These eBucks changes will take effect from 1 July 2019, and some are already being implemented.

New partnerships
FNB said that from 1 July, customers will be able to book local and international flights through various partners directly on the FNB app and earn up to 40% off their flights.

eBucks has also partnered with Computicket, allowing customers to spend their eBucks on tickets to events and festivals.

“You can now use your FNB Fusion, Credit and Cheque card, eBucks or a combination of both to pay for tickets and entertainment under the ‘eBucks Tickets’ tab on eBucks.com,” the company said.

FNB has partnered with Uber Eats, KFC, Kauai, and Intercape to offer a range of new incentives and discounts across these products.

eBucks members can also earn additional SLOW Lounge visits by booking flights through the eBucks travel platform – with Private Wealth customers receiving up to eight additional lounge visits.
