The trick it’s trying

FNB’s security centre lists an online banking verification phishing scam and an FNB phishing website scam, warning customers never to disclose OTPs, usernames, passwords, card or PIN details.

Fake FNB online-banking/verification pages or messages attempt to collect login credentials, OTPs, card details and PINs.

The details

Impersonates: FNB
Reaches you by: Website
First seen: 2026/10/06, 04:02:15
Reported via: Public web warning
Original report: Not linked — unverified external site

What to do now

Don’t tap links in unexpected messages — open the FNB official app or website yourself.
Never send a PIN, password or one-time code (OTP) in reply to a message or caller.
FNB will never ask you to “verify” or “re-activate” your account through an unexpected link.
If you shared a password, change it through the official service. For card details or lost money, call your bank’s fraud line.
