FNB Customers on Huawei and Android Get a New Way to Pay
FNB customers on Huawei and Android get a new way to pay with the bank’s latest digital payment innovation — Swoo Pay. This partnership introduces a faster, more secure, and convenient way for customers to make contactless payments, store loyalty cards, and enjoy seamless digital transactions directly from their smartphones.
FNB Expands Digital Wallet Access
FNB has officially announced the integration of Swoo Pay for customers using Huawei and Android devices. The new feature allows clients to tap and pay effortlessly at any NFC-enabled point of sale, expanding access to digital payments beyond native Android or Huawei systems.
FNB and RMB Private Bank customers can now add their virtual or physical cards to the Swoo Pay app, giving them a flexible payment option that aligns with FNB’s vision of a more inclusive digital ecosystem.
According to Senzo Nsibande, CEO of Card at FNB, “As a digital innovation leader, we are always looking for secure and convenient digital payment options for all our customers. The enablement of Swoo Pay makes contactless payments more accessible to Huawei users and enhances customer choice.”
Swoo Pay Simplifies Everyday Payments
The Swoo Pay app offers more than just a payment method — it’s a digital wallet that brings convenience to everyday spending. Customers can store loyalty cards, digital tokens, and payment cards all in one app, reducing the need to carry physical wallets.
Swoo Pay supports NFC (Near Field Communication), allowing FNB users to tap their phones to pay quickly and securely. This aligns with South Africa’s growing adoption of digital wallets, which FNB reports have reached a total spending value of R200 billion as of August 2025 — a 42% increase from the previous year.
The app’s accessibility on Huawei AppGallery and Google Play ensures more South Africans can enjoy cashless convenience, regardless of their mobile device preference.
Digital Payments on the Rise in South Africa
FNB’s partnership with Swoo Pay comes at a time when contactless payments and mobile wallets are transforming how consumers transact. More customers are turning to smartphones for payments, loyalty management, and secure financial tools.
By expanding its digital reach, FNB continues to lead innovation in South Africa’s financial technology sector, making cashless living more achievable and inclusive.
Kirill Gorynya, CEO of Swoo, said, “We’re excited to partner with FNB to extend contactless payments to users of Huawei smartphones. This collaboration eliminates technological barriers while offering customers dual benefits — all FNB card privileges and access to our Swoo Tokenback loyalty programme, which returns up to 90% of purchase value as digital tokens.”
This innovative model not only rewards spending but also promotes a digital-first economy that benefits both merchants and consumers.

This collaboration underscores FNB’s commitment to driving financial inclusion and advancing South Africa’s digital payment ecosystem. The bank continues to expand its digital capabilities, ensuring that no customer is left behind due to device limitations or technology restrictions.
The introduction of Swoo Pay reinforces FNB’s reputation as one of Africa’s most innovative financial institutions, setting new standards in convenience, security, and accessibility.
