Best route by issue

Choosing the correct department prevents your call or email from being passed between internal bank queues unnecessarily.

Card Applications and Limit Increases

If you are looking to open a new account or modify your existing credit limit, use the 0860 FASTAP (327827) sales line or log an interactive request directly through the product shop section on your FNB online profile.

Transaction Disputes and Incorrect Billing

For unauthorised billing, duplicate charges, or merchant errors, call 087 575 1111 and request the credit card disputes team. You will be required to fill out an official transaction dispute form, which can be downloaded from the official FNB Security Centre.

Missed Payments and Repayment Arrangements

If you have fallen behind on your credit card repayments or need to arrange a payment holiday, contact the dedicated card arrangements division on 087 736 7846. If you require more extensive, structural financial restructuring across multiple accounts, you can access the FNB Debt Review and Collections contact details for targeted assistance.

Travel Notifications and Global Usage

If you plan to use your credit card outside South African borders, you no longer need to call a physical call centre agent. This can be flagged directly on the mobile app under card settings. For specialized global money transfers or corporate international queries, view the FNB International Banking contact details.

Online, app or self-service options

Using self-service banking options limits human error and provides the highest level of encryption for your data. FNB encourages all credit card users to manage their portfolios digitally rather than calling a branch or call centre line.

FNB Secure Chat

The single most secure method to get live human support is Secure Chat:

1. Log in to your verified FNB Banking App.
2. Tap the Menu icon and select Contact us.
3. Select Secure Chat to text directly with an authenticated credit card consultant.

Note: This website is an independent directory. We will never collect your personal banking details, ask you to fill out login forms, or recreate your official online banking journey. Always perform financial transactions exclusively inside the official FNB ecosystem.

Complaints and escalation

What should I do if I cannot get help?

If the standard customer care lines fail to resolve your credit card billing dispute, interest rate calculation issue, or claim error, follow the formal banking escalation protocol:

1. Request a Reference Number: Never conclude a call or email thread without an official case reference tracking number.
2. Contact the Care Team: Forward your dispute details along with your reference number to the internal FNB Complaints Resolution Team at 087 575 9408 or via email at [email protected].
3. Escalate to the Independent Regulator: If FNB does not resolve your query internally within the legally stipulated timeframe, you have the right to lodge a formal complaint with the National Financial Ombud Scheme (NFO) at 086 080 0900 ([email protected]) or the National Credit Regulator (NCR) at 086 062 7627 if it pertains to credit agreements.

What to prepare before contacting

What information should I prepare?

To ensure the call centre consultant or email team can assist you efficiently, have the following details ready:

• Your South African Identity Number or Passport Number.
• Your specific FNB credit card account number (found on your official bank statements).
• A concise, chronological summary of the issue or dispute.
• Any previous case reference numbers or written correspondence.

CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: Never disclose your One-Time PIN (OTP), card PIN, online banking passwords, or the 3-digit CVV number on the back of your card to anyone. No official FNB employee or customer support representative will ever ask you for these security credentials over the phone or via email.

Scam and safety checks

How do I avoid fake numbers or impersonation?

Digital financial fraud targeting South African credit card holders is increasingly sophisticated. Protect your funds by executing these safety checks:

• Vishing (Voice Phishing): Scammers may call you pretending to be from the “FNB Fraud Department,” claiming an unauthorised transaction is pending on your credit card. They will try to pressure you into reading out an OTP or approving an In-App notification. Hang up immediately and dial the official fraud number (087 575 9444) yourself.
• Search Engine Manipulation: Fraudsters often publish fake customer service numbers on public forums or mock websites to intercept desperate customers. Always double-check the URL to ensure you are on www.fnb.co.za.
• Fake WhatsApp Support Accounts: FNB does not use standard, unverified mobile numbers for customer care on WhatsApp. Do not interact with accounts that lack the official green verification badge.
