At long last, Apple Pay is available for FNB customers

All the way back in March, Apple Pay launched for a number of local banks namely Absa, Discovery Bank, Investec and Nedbank.

One of the larger banks that was not supported was FNB and finally, after many months of begging from customers, Apple Pay is available.

“Apple Pay will further accelerate the adoption of contactless payments for customers and it is available to all FNB customers with compatible Apple devices. Once Apple Pay is set up on the device, it can be used immediately to make safe and secure payments,” explains chief executive officer of FNB Card, Chris Labuschagne.

Setting up Apple Pay is relatively simple. First open the FNB app on your iPhone then select the account you would like to use for Apple Pay payments. Head to Account Options then tap My Cards. Here you can link an existing Virtual Card to Apple Pay or create a new card to link to the solution.

As something of a carrot, FNB says that the first 1 000 customers that link their virtual card via the FNB app and make a purchase using Apple Pay will receive 2 500 eBucks.

Customers who use Apple Pay will also continue to earn rewards and benefits offered by FNB including the ability to earn eBucks as well as purchase protection on qualifying transactions.

If you aren’t an Apple fan FNB does still offer its own virtual card service which is rather handy for subscriptions and the like.

To date, we have well over 300 000 FNB Virtual Cards on our new issuing platform with over R600 million in spend, and Apple Pay is the latest customer centric digital feature,” adds Labuschagne.
