MFC (Motor Finance Corporation) is a division of Nedbank Limited and provides vehicle finance and asset solutions across South Africa. Legal matters, foreclosure notices, summonses and debt recovery processes for vehicle finance agreements fall under Nedbank Limited’s overarching legal and collections structure.
Before serving documents or starting contact regarding a legal matter, verify that your correspondence is directed through an official MFC or Nedbank domain or physical domicile. Secondary directory listings and third-party websites should not be treated as live official proof.

MFC online and self-service channels
The safest route for anything official is the MFC Help Centre or the primary Nedbank portal directly. Existing vehicle finance account holders can manage statements, request border letters, check settlement quotes or review arrear notices by logging into the Nedbank Money App or Nedbank Online Banking. Avoid clicking links in unsolicited SMSs or emails claiming your vehicle is facing immediate legal repossession.
- Nedbank Money App: vehicle finance balances, settlement quotes and payment options.
- Online help forms: secure enquiries through the official MFC contact portal.
- Channel safety: verify that any automated messaging service or digital channel is explicitly published on the mfc.co.za domain. Never share your South African ID number or banking passwords with unverified third-party numbers.
Complaining about your MFC account
Before calling or writing, have the details ready that the agent will ask for. The MFC account or agreement reference number identifies the vehicle agreement on the Nedbank systems, and the South African identity document or passport number confirms who you are. For anything about the vehicle itself, keep the vehicle registration number and the chassis or VIN number at hand. If you are disputing arrears, bring proof of payment or settlement receipts. Where the matter is already legal, have the relevant documentation available, such as debt review Form 17.1/17.2, court notices, or police case numbers for stolen or damaged vehicles.
If an account dispute or legal concern remains unresolved through standard support channels, the escalation sequence runs in three stages.
- First stage, MFC directly: submit a written complaint to complaints@mfc.co.za or call 0860 879 900. Retain a copy of all written correspondence and note your reference number.
- Second stage, Nedbank internal appeals: escalate to Nedbank Client Feedback at clientfeedback@nedbank.co.za or call the Client Complaints Helpline on 0860 444 000. You can also email complaintappeals@nedbank.co.za.
- Third stage, external ombud and regulators: the National Financial Ombudsman Scheme (NFO) for unresolved credit, banking or vehicle contract disputes; the National Credit Regulator (NCR) for compliance issues relating to the National Credit Act, on 0860 627 627 or info@ncr.org.za; and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) for financial conduct concerns, on 0800 20 3722 or info@fsca.co.za.
MFC fraud and phishing reporting
If you suspect fraudulent activity, identity theft related to a vehicle agreement, or suspicious messaging posing as MFC:

- Ethics and anti-corruption: report unethical behaviour or financial misconduct via Tip-Offs Anonymous on 0800 000 909 or at nedbankgroup@tip-offs.com.
