Nedbank Branch Code 2026

One universal code for every Nedbank account.

The Universal Code

Nedbank uses ONE universal code for all accounts:

198765
Valid for EFTs
Valid for Salary Payments
Valid for All Nedbank 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 β€” 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.
