- The amount of eBucks that your business earns is determined by five reward levels
- Your business accumulates reward level points based on your business banking behaviour which in turn determines what level your business will be on
- The higher the level, the higher the percentage of eBucks your business earns on fuel purchases and when shopping using your qualifying FNB Visa Business Cheque Card
NB: Your business gets placed onto a reward level based on the number of reward level points accumulated over a rolling 12 month period (rolling refers to a 12 month period and not necessarily a yearly calendar period)
Below illustrates the reward levels and the reward level points required to reach each level on shopping, fuel and subscriptions, as well as the related earn rates:
If your business has met the qualifying criteria to begin earning eBucks and has registered for the eBucks for Business programme, your business will accumulate reward level points based on the FNB products held and your banking behaviour on those products over a rolling 12 month period.

- Product holding
- Utilising electronic channels
- Utilising value-added products and services
- Account health (account in good standing)
