How to earn Rewards points

• Deeper partnerships, more rewards

  As an Investec client with a Private Bank or Private Business Account, you’re automatically registered for the Investec Rewards programme – no minimum qualifying criteria apply.

  At a minimum, you can expect to earn 1 Rewards point for every R20 of qualifying transactions and 1 Rewards point for every R2 000 of qualifying balances. There’s no limit on the number of Rewards points you can earn and your points never expire.

  You can also earn points at a higher rate and on a wider range of qualifying transactions and balances – so the more you bank, borrow, save, invest and protect, the more Rewards points you’ll earn.

  Your earn rate is determined by your partnership level. There are five levels to the Rewards programme. The higher your partnership level, the higher your earn rate will be.

• Qualifying transactions and balances

  Rewards points are earned on a wide range of qualifying transactions and balances. Conditions apply – please refer to the Investec Rewards programme rules for more details.
