FNB Swift code

The FNB SWIFT code is FIRNZAJJ. This unique identifier allows overseas banks to locate and transfer funds to your FNB account in South Africa. Whether you are receiving money from friends, family, or business transactions, the SWIFT code simplifies the process of routing international payments.

How Does the FNB SWIFT Code Work?

When someone from abroad sends money to your FNB account, the SWIFT code acts like a postal address for your bank, ensuring that the money reaches the correct destination. Along with the SWIFT code, the sender will need your account number and possibly other details like the branch code to finalize the transaction.

Why Do You Need the FNB SWIFT Code?

Using the SWIFT code FIRNZAJJ is essential for:

  • Receiving Payments from Overseas: Whether you’re selling goods, freelancing, or receiving gifts from family members, the SWIFT code ensures that the funds are deposited into your account quickly and securely.
  • Making International Payments: If you’re sending money out of South Africa, having the correct SWIFT code for the recipient’s bank is equally important.

Steps to Receive Money from Abroad

  1. Share Your SWIFT Code: Provide the sender with the FNB SWIFT code (FIRNZAJJ) along with your account details.
  2. Monitor Transactions: Once the money is sent, you will receive an inContact message when FNB receives the funds.
  3. Convert the Currency: Once you’ve accepted the conversion rate, the funds will be credited to your account.
  4. Set Up Standing Instructions: If you regularly receive foreign payments, you can authorize FNB to convert the currency on your behalf automatically, ensuring that you get the funds without delay.
