FNB eWallet is the most convenient way of sending money to friends and family members.
It allows FNB account holders to send money from bank accounts to any registered working cellphone number in South Africa.
The best part?
You’re able to reverse ewallet should you send money to the wrong number.
Let’s get started.
How It Works
eWallet is the best when coming to sending money via cellphone banking.
The FNB eWallet enables clients to send money to a cellphone number (your wallet), and the money can be accessed instantly, at any FNB atm.
You can send an e-wallet of up to R3,000.00 per day when using the mobile app or online banking. And up to R1,500.00 using Cellphone Banking or FNB ATMs.
It’s only going to cost you R10.95 for transfers less than R1,000.00. And R13,95 for any amount over R1,000.00 to R3,000.00.
That’s the most cost-effective way of sending money to family.
It gets even better.
The person you’re sending the money to, don’t need to have an FNB account in order to receive the money. They only need a working cellphone number together and the pin to withdraw cash.

Can it Really be Reversed?
Yes, many customers have done this process successfully.
It isn’t a simple process, can be frustrating sometimes, especially when the other person already moved the money from ewallet.
As indicated in the screenshots above, FNB recommends trying reverse ewallet payment that was transferred 72 hours ago.
Otherwise, cannot guarantee you’ll get your money back and the entire process depends on the person on the other side.
How Much Does FNB Charge for eWallet Reversals?
It’ll cost you a flat fee of R13.95 to reverse ewallet payment.
While other customers claim to have been charged over R50.00 in the past however FNB indicates this flat fee on their website.
And the process will take 4 to 15 working days to complete.
How long does eWallet reversal take?
Unfortunately, your eWallet transaction reversal won’t be immediate.
According to experienced customers, it takes 4 working days for FNB to complete the eWallet reversal process and pay the money back to the sender.
That’s if the recipient’s number is working, imagine if you’ve sent money to a cellphone number that doesn’t work.
Well, they’ll still help you however it will take about 15 business days for the eWallet reversal to complete.
So, before clicking that sent button, double-check the cellphone is correct to avoid penalties
How to Avoid eWallet Reversals
You should avoid typing in the cellphone number during the process of sending ewallet transfer to anyone. Always copy the number from your contact list, this increases your chances of sending it to a working number.
However, always recommend using the FNB app to send ewallet payments. The app has access to your phone contact list and you can select the cellphone number instead of typing or entering it manually.
During the process, FNB will present a couple of screens to confirm the cellphone number to avoid sending it to the wrong numbers. Also cross-check with the recipient if the number is correct before clicking the send button.
Please note there may be a charge when requesting a reversal. If that (wrong-) person had already collected the money, unfortunately, FNB will not be held responsible and does not guarantee you’ll get your money back.
