What happens once I sponsor someone’s account?
- Once a Bank on Me payment is made, the funds will be reserved in the reserved wallet and can only be accessed for the sole purpose of collecting monthly fees.
- If the monthly bank charges are greater than the balance of reserved funds, the remainder will be debited against the beneficiaries account balance.
- Should the beneficiary close their account, and there is a surplus in the reserved wallet, this money will be paid out to the beneficiary upon closure.
- If the beneficiary closes their account but still has an outstanding ATM loan, then the outstanding amount will be recovered from the reserved funds.
- Note that when the reserved wallet balance reaches R20, a notification will be sent to the beneficiary
