Going to the bank can be a mission, especially during the week when you're busy with work and other things. So, you might be wondering if you can pop into an FNB branch on a Sunday. The short answer is: sometimes. It really depends on the branch.

It can be a bit of a lucky draw. Some FNB branches, especially those in big shopping malls, are open on Sundays. But many others are closed. It's not a simple yes or no answer for all of them. I remember one Sunday I really needed to sort out a card issue. I drove to my usual branch, only to find it closed. I had to search online to find one that was open, which was a bit of a hassle.

How to check if your FNB branch is open on a Sunday

So, how can you know for sure? Here are a few ways to check:

• Use the FNB Branch Locator: The best way is to use the branch locator on the FNB website. You can search for your nearest branch and it will show you the opening hours for every day of the week.
• Call them up: You can also just give the branch a quick call. The branch locator will have the contact number for each branch. This way, you can be 100% sure before you leave the house.
• Check the mall's website: If the branch is in a shopping mall, you can check the mall's website. They usually have a list of all the stores and their trading hours.

I’ve learned my lesson and now I always double-check online before heading out. It saves me time and petrol!

It's super handy that some branches are open on Sundays. It means you can do your banking without having to take time off work. Just make sure you check the opening hours before you go.

By the way, if you're looking for other ways to make your life easier, I've been using the Points Castle app. You can do surveys and play games to earn points, which you can then use to get free airtime and vouchers. It's a nice little way to get something back for your time.
