FNB universal branch code

To simplify banking transactions, FNB has introduced a universal branch code: 250655. This code can be used for all branches of FNB across South Africa, regardless of where your account is located. By using this universal code, customers no longer need to search for specific branch codes when making transfers or setting up payments, both locally and internationally.

Why Use the Universal Branch Code?

The universal branch code brings several key benefits:

  1. Simplifies Transactions: No need to find a specific branch code—just use the universal code (250655) for all FNB branches.
  2. Convenient for Online Banking: Whether you’re paying bills, transferring funds, or setting up new beneficiaries, the universal branch code ensures seamless online transactions.
  3. Reduces Errors: Using one consistent code eliminates the risk of errors associated with entering the wrong branch code, which could delay or misroute payments.
  4. Perfect for Mobile and Internet Banking: The universal branch code works across all FNB platforms, from the FNB app to internet banking, making it ideal for tech-savvy customers.

How to Use the FNB Universal Branch Code

You can use the universal branch code for:

  • Local Transactions: Whether you’re transferring funds to another FNB account or to an account at a different bank in South Africa, the code 250655 will suffice.
  • Setting Up Beneficiaries: If you’re setting up a new beneficiary in your FNB online banking profile or mobile app, enter 250655 as the branch code for any FNB account.
  • International Transfers: The universal branch code works for receiving funds from abroad, but international transfers require the FNB SWIFT code, which is FIRNZAJJ.

Can I Use the Universal Branch Code for International Transfers?

Yes, you can use the universal branch code (250655) for receiving international transfers, but the key identifier for these transactions is the SWIFT code. FNB’s SWIFT code is FIRNZAJJ, which ensures that funds from abroad are correctly routed to your FNB account. The SWIFT code works alongside the universal branch code to facilitate smooth international transfers.
