Hi All,

Never done an eWallet before with FNB. Does the recipient see the sender's details? Acc number or name? I'll be sending from FNB app.

Thanks in advance!

Yes the recipient will see your initial and surname.

Below is an example of what they will see ( where J BLOGS will be your initial and surname):

FNB :) J BLOGS sent R500.00. At FNB ATM, press PROCEED, select eWallet Services. PIN 71185, is valid for 16hrs. If expired, dial *120*277# for new PIN

Impossible to use. The pin is linked to a cellphone number. Can't use it without knowing the number the money was sent to

I used to pay in airtime. Would buy airtime at a garage, say R250 take a photo of the voucher and send it to the lady.

Other alternative is for her to share her banking details and do a cash deposit at an atm to her account.

Condition is she needed airtime. These day it could work, but also cash probably needed instead.

So you have the option with FNB to not send the receiver the SMS and your name won't be seen by her. All she needs to do is *120*277# and she only gets the pin... Happy remote punting all!
