For the month of April, FNB and Clicks are helping consumers stretch their budgets by giving them up to 30% back in eBucks when they spend in-store or online at Clicks using their FNB or RMB Private Bank Virtual Cards.
Johan Moolman, CEO of eBucks Rewards, says, “eBucks continues to provide important financial relief to our customers, and the additional support is crucial as families are under economic pressure due to the increasing cost of living. With over 650 stores nationwide, Clicks provides a wide range of health, beauty, and wellness products. As a result, we’re pleased to provide customers with even more ways to earn and spend rewards as part of our collaboration with Clicks. Our goal with eBucks is to always encourage and incentivise positive behaviour, and this extends to helping customers with easier and safer ways to pay.”
Vikash Singh, Managing Executive at Clicks, says “the loyalty partnerships at Clicks are selected based on their strategic relevancy and the added value they offer Clicks customers. We have been delighted at how much additional value the partnership with FNB eBucks has delivered to our customers in the last three years. Providing added value to our customers has long been the premise of the Clicks ClubCard programme, currently the most used and oldest retail loyalty programme in the country. In these tough economic times, Clicks ClubCard is even more committed to providing customers with cashback.”
Ashley Saffy, Head of Spend and Customer Value Management at FNB Card, says “An increasing number of our customers are using their virtual cards online as well as adding a virtual card to a digital wallet of choice, to make contactless payments in-store. From launch to date, our customers processed approximately over R20 billion on 3.9 million active virtual cards, and we continue to see strong growth in adoption.”
Creating a virtual card is easy, instant, and free. The bank has been adding more FNB-enabled digital wallet solutions to help its customers switch to safer and more convenient ways to pay. In addition to its own FNB Tap & Scan to Pay, customers can also use several digital wallets supported by FNB Pay, and these include Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Fitbit Pay, Garmin Pay, and SwatchPAY!
One of the key security features of the FNB Virtual Card is its innovative dynamic CVV. The dynamic CVV (Card Verification Value) number is one of the most unique features of the virtual card, as it changes frequently to provide clients with better protection. Online purchases are secured by customer authentication on the FNB App, while point-of-sale purchases for higher amounts may require a PIN to be captured by the customer on the POS device.
“Our solutions have multiple layers of security, but it is essential that customers remain vigilant and never share private security credentials like Login credentials, OTPs, PINs, passwords, card CVV numbers or expiry dates with anyone”, Saffy concluded.
