Qualifying criteria

  1. The account holder must be a Legal Practitioner with an acceptable ITC credit record and a FNB Business Banking Account
  2. The account must only be used for the safe keeping of funds belonging to the Legal Practitioner's clients
  3. The Legal Practitioners Trust account requires a transactional business account linked
  4. The Legal Practitioner needs to be in possession of an up to date LPFF certificate

Close

How it works

The funds contained in this account are not owned by the principal client (the Legal Practitioner) as they are only controlled by virtue of a fiduciary relationship for the third party/client of the Legal Practitioner. It is used by Legal Practitioners to hold funds on customers' behalf. In line with this requirement, no cards or overdrafts are available for these accounts to protect the integrity of audit trails and the funds held in trust.

To prevent the trust account from overdrawing, a linked business account must be opened in conjunction, as it allows customers to redirect the fees and VAT charges of the trust account, to the Legal Practitioners' main FNB Business Account (transactional account).

The Legal Practitioners S86(2) Trust Account should only reflect the trust monies and all fees and interest need to be settled against the transactional Business account and not from the funds held in trust.

Managed option(AMTS)

Attorneys can sign up for the Managed Option functionality which simplifies the mandatory payments to the law society (in terms of section 78(1) of the Attorneys Act 53 of 1979).

The system is automated to reconcile interest and charges monthly, enabling the automatic transfers of surplus credit interest earned on the account to automatically be paid to the relevant provincial law society. The VAT portion of the fees and any fees not offset against the interest will be redirected to the transactional Business Account.

Legal Practitioners S86(2) Trust Account

The FNB Attorney's Trust Account has been designed for registered attorneys managing or holding funds in trust on behalf of clients or third parties. It is regulated by section 78(1) of the Attorneys Act 53 of 1979.

How it works

Trust management made easy

It is used by Legal Practitioners to hold funds on customers' behalf.
