Old Mutual Bank

The Old Mutual Money Account is more than just a regular bank account—it gives you two accounts in one. It features a SWIPE Account for everyday transactions and a SAVE Account to grow your savings. This dual-structure system makes it easy to manage your spending and savings all in one place.

  • SWIPE Account: Perfect for everyday transactions like purchasing in-store or online, paying for services like DSTV, buying prepaid airtime, or even sending money to other Money Account holders via the QuickPay feature.
  • SAVE Account: A dedicated account where you can stash your money and watch it grow over time with competitive interest rates. This separation ensures that you are disciplined in managing your savings without dipping into funds meant for daily expenses.

Key Features of the Old Mutual Money Account

  • Send Money: Conveniently send money to friends and family, even if they don’t bank with Old Mutual.
  • Prepaid Airtime & Utilities: You can purchase prepaid airtime, data, and electricity straight from your Money Account, simplifying your day-to-day needs.
  • DSTV Payments: Seamlessly pay your DSTV bill through the app, removing the hassle of missed payments.
  • Salary & Debit Order Switching: Easily switch your salary and debit orders to your Old Mutual Money Account using the online switching service. The process is quick and can be done from the comfort of your home.
