EFT deposit tips for South African customers

Luno South Africa flag icon

When making an EFT deposit to your ZAR wallet, if you bank with ABSA, Standard Bank, Nedbank or TymeBank, we've made things a little easier for you. Just search for “Luno” under “Public Beneficiaries”, instead of manually entering our bank details. With FNB, you'll have to set up Luno manually as a beneficiary (see below).

Note

Please only reach out to us if you haven’t used your unique reference number (starting with BX or LN), or if it’s been longer than 2 business days and your deposit isn’t reflecting yet.

The reference number in the images below is not your unique reference number. Your own unique reference number is displayed to you when you select Deposit, then Bank transfer from your ZAR wallet.
