Following the team-up of FNB’s eBucks and Pick n Pay back in October, FNB is ready to take the relationship to the next level. The two are once again collaborating to “add more value for all their FNB and RMB Private Bank’s customers,” the local bank said in a press release. That means even better deals for FNB customers who like to do their shopping at Pick n Pay, or even have their products delivered directly.
“This follows the increasingly positive customer response to the 99c bread rewards and the launch to the FNB Private Segment (those earning in excess of R750,000 per annum) during November 2024. The early stages of this partnership reflected a strong 20% increase in activity on Pick n Pay Clothing and Pick n Pay’s asap! on-demand delivery service.”
Time to make friends with your local Pick n Pay
Starting 1 April 2025, retail and commercial FNB customers will earn “up to” 30% of their spend back in eBucks when spending with Pick n Pay’s retail delivery service, asap! If a more retro approach is your thing, in-store shoppers will be treated to up to 20% back on all items. This won’t interfere with your Smart Shopper points when spending at the tills.
From 1 April 2025, FNB customers can take advantage of these eBucks rewards from Pick n Pay:
- FNB Easy – These customers can swipe their FNB Easy debit card to unlock a voucher that allows them to pay 99c for a 600g loaf of Pick n Pay bread (brown or white). Only four vouchers are allowed per month.
- FNB Aspire – These customers can earn up to R150 per month back in eBucks when shopping in-store, using Pick n Pay asap! or when purchasing from Pick n Pay Clothing.
- FNB Premier – Premier members can earn up to 30% back in eBucks on Pick n Pay asap!, 20% back on in-store spending, and up to 20% back at Pick n Pay Clothing.
- FNB Private Clients, Private Wealth and RMB Private Bank – FNB’s big spenders can earn themselves up to 30% back in eBucks on Pick n Pay asap!, 20% back on in-store spending, and at Pick n Pay clothing. This will not interfere with their rewards earned from shopping at Spar locations, allowing them to earn back 15% on their spending when swiping their cards.

“With the cost of living constantly rising, we believe this partnership has the potential to help FNB and Pick n Pay customers to experience meaningful savings that will boost their household budgets, which speaks to our aspiration of solving customer needs. This partnership is a meaningful demonstration of the value that can be made available when trusted South African brands work together to help consumers get the most from their money,” said FNB’s Lytania Johnson.
FNB giveth, but it also taketh away. This expansion with Pick n Pay – naming it as the local bank’s primary eBucks retail partner – means something else losing out on the coveted spot. That something is Checkers, which previously earned the bank’s customers similar cash-back rewards. Starting 1 April, FNB customers will no longer earn eBucks rewards when shopping with Checkers.
According to News24, Checkers has already secured a new rewards partner – Standard Bank’s UCount rewards – to continue to provide its shoppers with a worthy money-saving scheme, as long as they are in Standard Bank’s pocket, of course.
