Fuel prices across all types and grades increased once again this month, further straining household budgets and prompting FNB to offer its eBucks customers additional relief.
Many South African motorists already make use of the reward programme, earning and spending millions on fuel purchases over the past year.
To extend the relief the programme offers, FNB has launched a limited-time Fuel Boost campaign, which will be in place for May and June 2026, giving customers a guaranteed 50% increase in eBucks earned on fuel at Engen.
This can be earned on top of standard monthly fuel rewards, which the bank hopes will help its customers stretch their budgets.
Pieter Woodhatch, CEO of eBucks, explained that fuel is an essential expense for most South Africans, so when prices increase, customers feel it 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.
According to FNB, customers earned R241 million in eBucks over the past twelve months, spending R177 million of this to reduce out-of-pocket fuel costs.
The programme’s more than 850,000 clients benefited from rewards of up to R8 per litre over the same period.
“Our goal is to help customers make smart everyday decisions that build financial resilience in a challenging economic environment,” added Woodhatch.
Earning up to R12 per litre back in eBucks
Earning these additional benefits comes with conditions, including customers meeting the standard monthly eBucks qualifying criteria and spending at least R450 on fuel at Engen within the campaign period.
FNB shared the example of a private banking client on eBucks level 5, who meets the Wesbank and insurance qualifying, currently earning back R8 per litre in eBucks.
During the Fuel Boost campaign, the same customer will earn an additional 50% on their standard fuel earn, equating to an extra R4 per litre, or a total of R12 per litre earned in eBucks.
Woodrich added that the simplicity of the offer is intentional, meaning customers need not rethink their spending or jump through hoops to unlock additional benefits.
“They just need to fuel up as they normally would, which is what makes the benefit practical and impactful,” he explained.
Woodich added that the programme’s role goes beyond rewards and is instead aimed at making customers’ lives easier.
“That means recognising the real pressures people are under and responding in ways that are simple, practical, and genuinely helpful,” he said.
“Whether it’s fuel, groceries, data or other everyday essentials, our commitment is to help customers manage rising costs with confidence, simplicity, and meaningful support.”
Customers need to take note that the eBucks Fuel Boost campaign is only available for a limited time, running from May through June 2026, and only at Engen petrol stations in South Africa.
