Now that my card is activated: How do I deposit money into my DAd card?

The card funding process works slightly differently than that of traditional banks. Direct Advantage will control the DAd pool bank account, which will effectively fund your DAd card (This process may take up to 48 hours). You will need to put your DAd member number or your DAd card number as a reference on you deposit slip.*Please note that this is of high importance. Direct Advantage will then load the funds onto your DAd card for you. This process is very secure as our sponsoring bank is heavily regulated as part of the Financial Services Authorities Regulation Acts.

Deposits, EFT or Cheque deposits:

Reference: Your DAd number

Questions and Answers:

Q – Why is the deposits paid into the FNB account and not the sponsoring bank?

A – Because our sponsoring bank is a commercial bank and they specialise in banking solutions for businesses and corporate customers and their branches are not as readily available as FNB branches it is more cost effective to deposit money into the Trust Account.

Q – How does my money get onto my card?

A - Every time you deposit money into your DAd Card, by depositing the money into the Trust Account with your DAd number as reference, it gets transferred to our sponsoring banks Trust Account and from there it is loaded onto your DAd Card.
