With fuel prices rising once again and putting pressure on household budgets, FNB is stepping in to offer its eBucks customers some much-needed relief through a limited-time Fuel Boost campaign.
Over the past year, hundreds of thousands of South African motorists have used the rewards programme to offset fuel costs, earning R241 million in eBucks and spending R177 million of that directly on petrol.
To extend this relief, FNB has announced that throughout May and June 2026, customers will earn a guaranteed 50% increase in eBucks when filling up at Engen. This boost is stacked on top of their standard monthly fuel rewards.
Pieter Woodhatch, CEO of eBucks, noted that because fuel is an essential expense, price hikes are felt immediately. “By giving customers an extra 50% back in eBucks on fuel, we are helping to soften that impact by putting real value back into their hands, at a time when it matters most,” he said.
Over the past 12 months, the programme’s more than 850,000 clients benefited from rewards of up to R8 per litre. FNB’s goal, according to Woodhatch, is to help customers build financial resilience in a tough economy.
Earning up to R12 per litre back
To unlock the Fuel Boost, customers must meet the standard monthly eBucks qualifying criteria and spend at least R450 on fuel at Engen during the campaign period.
FNB provided the example of a Private Banking client on eBucks level 5 who meets the WesBank and insurance qualifying criteria. They currently earn R8 per litre. During the campaign, they will earn an additional 50% (R4 per litre), bringing their total earn rate to R12 per litre.
Woodhatch emphasized that the offer is deliberately simple. “They just need to fuel up as they normally would, which is what makes the benefit practical and impactful,” he explained, adding that the programme aims to recognise real-world pressures and offer genuinely helpful solutions.
The eBucks Fuel Boost campaign runs exclusively at Engen stations in South Africa from May through June 2026.
