A Global Account is an account in a foreign currency that allows you to invest your foreign investment allowance, as determined by the South African Reserve Bank.

Open a Global Account online and manage US Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar, Indian Rupees or Chinese Renminbi accounts with the same ease as an FNB Cheque Account.
