Nedbank Lost Card Contact Number

Quick answer: use this route first

If your Nedbank debit, credit, or cheque card is lost, stolen, or compromised, act immediately to secure your account and prevent unauthorized transactions.

Before placing a call or blocking your card, verify that you are using an official Nedbank channel. Never use contact numbers provided in unsolicited SMS messages, pop-up ads, or suspicious emails.

Urgent steps to take now

When a bank card goes missing, every minute counts. Take these sequential steps to protect your funds immediately:

  1. Freeze or Block Your Card via Digital Banking: Log in to the Nedbank Money app, tap Cards, select your lost card, and tap Block and Replace or Freeze. You can also dial *120*001# for cellphone banking card management.
  2. Call the 24/7 Lost Card Hotline: If you cannot access digital banking, dial 0800 110 929 immediately to speak with an agent.
  3. Decline Unrecognized Authorizations: If you receive an Approve-it notification or SMS OTP for a transaction you did not initiate, decline it immediately and report the attempt on the emergency line.
  4. Report Stolen Devices: If your mobile device was stolen along with your card, call Nedbank right away to deactivate the Money app and block your digital profiles.
  5. Report Theft to SAPS: If your card was stolen during a crime or robbery, obtain a South African Police Service (SAPS) case number for dispute verification and insurance purposes.

What information to prepare

What information should I prepare?

Having key details ready will speed up the process when calling the emergency helpline:

What not to share

Nedbank representatives will verify your identity, but they will never ask for sensitive security credentials. To protect yourself from impersonation scams, never share:

Safety Warning: If a caller claiming to be from Nedbank asks you to read back an OTP or accept an Approve-it prompt to “cancel a card,” hang up immediately—it is a scam.

If the issue is not resolved

If you experience unauthorized transactions after reporting your lost card, or if your query is not resolved satisfactorily, follow official escalation steps:

  1. Submit a Fraud Dispute: Contact the Nedbank Dispute Centre or visit a local branch to lodge a dispute for unauthorized charges.
  2. Contact Client Complaints: Call 0860 444 000 or email [email protected] to escalate unresolved service queries.
  3. Escalate to the Ombudsman: If Nedbank’s internal dispute resolution fails to resolve the issue, you may submit a formal complaint to the Ombudsman for Banking Services (OBS) with your Nedbank reference number.
