Nedbank Branch Code 2026
One universal code for every Nedbank account.
The Universal Code
Nedbank uses ONE universal code for all accounts:
One code, every branch
Nedbank historically issued a unique 6-digit code to each branch. The universal code 198765 now works for every account — regardless of where it was opened.
Do I need a specific Nedbank branch code?
For domestic EFTs, salary deposits, debit orders and stop orders, 198765 works for any Nedbank account in South Africa.
A handful of old payroll systems and some foreign payment forms still ask for a branch-specific code. In those cases the recipient can find their original branch code in the Nedbank Money app under Account details.
