MFC’s head office is Nedbank Ltd, 135 Rivonia Road, Sandown, Sandton, and its postal address is Client Value Management, PO Box 1144, Johannesburg, 2000.

MFC settlements: get a settlement figure
MFC’s “My Account in my hands” service sends your settlement or balance without a call. The request only works from the email address or cellphone number on your MFC record:
- Settlement letter by email: email selfservice@mfc.co.za with “S”, a space and your ID number in the subject line (for example S 0000000000001) and leave the body blank.
- Settlement figure by SMS: SMS “S”, a space and your ID number to 31795, at R1.50 per SMS.
- Balance: use “B” instead of “S” in the email subject or SMS to get your outstanding balance, monthly payment and next payment date.
The automated service will not respond if your account is less than 6 months old or in arrears, or if your details do not match. In those cases, MFC says to call the MFC Service Centre on 0860 879 900. You can also get settlements, statements, tax certificates, cross-border letters and registration papers in the Nedbank Money app or Online Banking once you link your MFC account to your Nedbank ID.
MFC banking details and account number
Your MFC finance account number has 11 digits (MFC’s example is 12345670001). Instalments are paid by debit order, which MFC says you may not cancel. For extra or manual payments, MFC lists these options:
- Cash at a Nedbank cash deposit ATM: choose Cardless transaction, enter MFC account number 1957408367, your cellphone number and your 11-digit MFC finance account number.
- EFT from another bank: add “MFC, a division of Nedbank Ltd” as a listed beneficiary (on FNB and Capitec, search Nedbank-approved beneficiaries; on Absa and Standard Bank, search MFC; on Discovery Bank, choose Nedbank MFC) and use your 11-digit account number as the reference.
- At a retailer or at payat.io: use MFC’s identification number 11771 followed by your 11-digit account number with no space, for example 1177112345670001.
MFC border letter
You need a border letter from MFC to take a financed vehicle out of South Africa. MFC asks for a letter from you requesting permission, with your travel dates and destination; confirmation from your insurer that the vehicle is covered for the trip; your contact details while travelling; copies of your driving licence and ID; and the cross-border request form, completed in the Money app or Online Banking under Loans, Features, Statements and documents, Cross-border letter. Fax or email the documents to the details on the form, then call 0860 879 900 and MFC will issue the letter.
MFC collections and payment relief options
If you have missed a payment or expect to, contact Nedbank Collections on 0801 114 949 or collections.res@mfc.co.za. MFC’s payment problems FAQ describes these options, each subject to credit approval and terms and conditions:
- Payment plan: pay an overdue amount over a few months, usually no more than 3.
- Payment freeze: up to 3 months if you lose income through dismissal, retrenchment, unpaid maternity leave or suspension, with supporting documents; the frozen months are added to your term.
- Restructure: increase or reduce your instalments, or restructure a shortfall over up to 36 months.
- Selling or surrendering the vehicle: sell privately to settle the account, or call Assisted Sales on 0801 114 949 about voluntary surrender, which is sold at auction and affects your credit record.
MFC balloon payments
A balloon or residual is a lump sum due at the end of your agreement that lowers your monthly instalments. MFC says that three months before your balloon payment is due, it sends a quotation to restructure it over 6, 12, 18, 24 or 36 months. If the balloon falls due and is not paid, the account goes into arrears and a consultant contacts you to restructure it. The balloon amount and due date appear on your signed agreement and statements.
MFC complaints
MFC says all complaints must be submitted in writing by email or fax. Use the Compliments or Complaints form in the MFC Help Centre, giving your ID or MFC account number, email address, cellphone number and the details, and MFC aims to reply within 1 working day. You can also call 0860 879 900 during office hours. MFC’s fees under the National Credit Act are a R69 monthly administration fee and a R1,207.50 initiation fee; for questions about the Act, the National Credit Regulator is on 0860 627 627.
