Paying your Discovery credit card from your FNB account is a straightforward process. You can easily set up Discovery as a beneficiary on your FNB app or online banking, and make payments whenever you need to. I remember the first time I had to do this, I was a bit nervous about getting the details right, but it turned out to be surprisingly simple.

Here’s a quick guide to help you pay your Discovery credit card from your FNB account. All you need to do is add Discovery as a beneficiary to your FNB account. Once that’s done, you can make payments anytime.

Paying Your Discovery Card from FNB

Follow these easy steps to get it done:

1. Log in to your FNB account: Open your FNB app or go to the FNB website and log in to your online banking profile.

2. Go to the payments section: Find the option to “Pay” or “Make a payment.” From there, you’ll want to add a new beneficiary.

3. Enter Discovery’s banking details: You’ll need the following information to add Discovery as a beneficiary:

• Bank Name: Discovery Bank
• Branch Code: 679000
• Account Number: This is your 11-digit Discovery credit card account number (not the 16-digit number on the front of your card). You can find this number on your statement or by logging into your Discovery Bank profile online.

4. Use the correct reference: For the reference, you can use your name or the credit card account number again. This helps Discovery correctly allocate your payment. I always use my account number just to be safe.

5. Save the beneficiary: Once you’ve entered all the details, save Discovery as a beneficiary. You’ll likely need to confirm this with a one-time PIN (OTP) from FNB.

6. Make the payment: Now that Discovery is saved as a beneficiary, you can make a payment just like you would to any other account. Enter the amount you want to pay, and the payment will be on its way. For more on how long transfers between different banks take, check out our post on FNB to Capitec transfer times.

And that’s it! Your Discovery credit card payment is sorted. It’s a good idea to make the payment a day or two before the due date to ensure it reflects in time.
