As South Africans battle to save money and keep things afloat during the lockdown, First National Bank revealed that its customers have spent over R451 million in eBucks during the lockdown.

There are so many ways the FNB customers can benefit from of eBucks.

Some of the different variations of eBucks include eBucks Lifestyle, eBucks discounts, Spend eBucks and eBucks Rewards.

The bank noted that during lockdown eBucks was being used to purchase essential items.

“We’ve seen how eBucks members are using their rewards to buy essentials. Since the start of the national lockdown towards the end of March, members have spent over R451 million worth of eBucks on things like fuel, groceries, airtime and data and other day-to-day necessities, helping them stretch their monthly budgets even further,” explained chief executive officer at eBucks Rewards, Johan Moolman.

Back in June, FNB announced changes to how customers earned eBucks. This included adding Spotify and Netflix as ways for customers to earn rewards.

Through our eBucks Rewards programme, we are delivering on that promise by helping customers to support their cost of living expenses, rewarding members for good money management, and creating valuable opportunities to save and grow their money by supplementing their financial spend with rewards,” said Moolman.
