How to Transfer Ewallet to My Fnb Account
Sending money to a loved one or a friend has never been easier, especially with FNB's eWallet service. If you're an FNB bank account holder, the sender and receiver won't even need to register. All you need to do is log in to your FNB account and send the funds.
Here's how you can send money using eWallet on FNB online banking:
- Log in to your FNB online banking here.
- On the home screen click on 'Send Money'
- Click on 'Once-off Payment'
- Insert the mobile cell number and how much you would like to transfer
- At the bottom right select the bank account you would like to send the money from.
- Then click on 'Send'
- Check the box if you would like the receiver to get the pin automatically. *Pin expires in 4 hours.
- Click 'Confirm' at the bottom right.
- Check your mobile phone for the OTP, and complete the transaction.
The receiver will now get an SMS with instructions on how to withdraw the money. Please note that the pin is only valid for four hours, if it expires you'll need to get a new one for your transaction and send it to your receiver.
If you would prefer to use the eWallet service on the FNB mobile app then keep reading, I'll go over that next.
Send Money Via eWallet On The FNB Mobile Banking App

Send Money Via eWallet Using Cellphone Banking
But what if you don't have online banking or the FNB app? Well, there is one other method you can use to send money using the eWallet service, and it's by using FNB's cellphone banking.
Before you try this method though you'll need to make sure you're registered. If you haven't registered for cellphone banking yet, there are three ways you can register. Either Dial *120*321# , call the FNB helpline on 087-575-9405, or if you have to you can visit any FNB branch.
Once you've registered to cell-phone banking, here's the steps you need to take to send money using the eWallet service:

- Next, select the 'Send Money' option
- Now, select 'eWallet'

- Confirm the amount you would like to send and cellphone number
Now get the receiver to view the SMS sent by FNB. It will have details on how they can withdraw then the money you just sent them.
Send Money Via eWallet Using An FNB ATM
So you don't have access to any of the previous methods, well there is one last option you can try. All you'll need to do is get access to an FNB ATM and follow these steps:
- Insert any FNB card into the ATM
- Key in your PIN
- Next, select 'More Options'

Make sure you get the receiver to check their mobile phone and use the information FNB sent them to withdraw the money within four hours. After this time, the eWallet transaction PIN will expire.
Sent eWallet Money To The Wrong Cellphone Number?
If you sent money to the wrong cellphone number, then don't worry, you can reverse the transaction reasonably quickly. You just need to make sure to do it as soon as possible. If the receiver withdraws the money before you cancel it, your payment will be lost forever.

Final Thoughts
While I was researching this topic, I noticed FNB put heavy emphasis on triple checking that you're sending your money to the right cellphone number, and to not fall for scams. So please be careful, it seems like there are a TON of people making these two mistakes.
Once you've sent money using this service, it's very difficult to get it back. So avoid using it to send money to people you don't know; otherwise, you risk being scammed. And finally, TRIPLE check those cellphone numbers before clicking 'Send.'
