I know that the eBucks website says that you may not exchange or redeem eBucks for cash. But there’s a simple way to instantly increase your bank balance using eBucks on the FNB App.

Simply log into the FNB App and Navigate to: Menu > eBucks > Spend > Pay in eBucks

This feature shows a bunch of past transactions, allowing you to choose to pay for them using eBucks, even though the original payments were made with one of your FNB Bank Accounts.

Once you’ve elected to pay a transaction with eBucks, your bank balance instantly increases by the amount of the transaction while your eBucks balance decreases by the same amount.

This could help you if you’re ever in a tight spot with your cash flow.

However, it’s important to remember that using eBucks for certain transactions might not always maximise your benefits. I’ve written about this previously as there’s a bit of strategy involved in terms of where to spend your eBucks to get the most value.
