I’ve found that the biggest source of confusion isn’t usually the payment itself. It’s knowing which number to use, where to check the balance, and whether a payment has actually reached the account.
So let’s break it down.
South African Financial Disclaimer
RandHub is an independent information provider and does not provide financial advice, credit advice, debt counselling, or loan products. In this article is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not financial advice, credit advice, debt counselling, or a recommendation to apply for or use a TFG Money Account.
A TFG Money Account is a credit facility and is subject to its applicable credit agreement, terms and conditions, affordability requirements, interest, fees and other charges. Before using credit, read the agreement and make sure you understand the repayment obligations and total cost of the credit. South Africa’s National Credit Regulator provides consumer information on credit agreements, including disclosure of repayment terms, interest and fees.
Payment methods, banking details, supported banks, fees and other account information can change. Always verify the latest information directly with TFG/Bash before making a payment. Never send your card number, PIN, password or other confidential banking information to an unverified person.
What Is a TFG Money Account?
A TFG Money Account is a credit facility linked to a TFG Money card. You can use it to make purchases at participating TFG brands, including online purchases through Bash. The account operates under a credit agreement, so purchases, payments, interest, fees, and other applicable charges are reflected on the account statement.
The account gives you a credit allocation, which limits how much you can purchase. Your available credit can change as you make purchases and payments.
That’s why you should check your balance regularly.
You don’t want to discover your available credit is lower than expected at checkout.
How to Check Your TFG Money Account Balance Online?
There are several ways to check your TFG Money Account balance.
1. Check through Bash
If your TFG Money Account is linked to your Bash profile, you can manage it through Bash.
Log in and go to your profile or Wallet area. You can access your TFG Money account information there.
Bash also offers an option for customers without an online profile. You can enter your TFG Money card or account number to make an online payment.
2. Check your balance on WhatsApp
This can be more convenient when you only need a quick account check.
TFG’s WhatsApp self-service option allows customers to view information such as their balance, available credit, credit limit, and current installment.
You’ll need your TFG Money card or account number available when using the account inquiry option.
3. Check your statement
Your statement provides more than just the amount you owe.
It can show transactions, interest and other charges, the minimum amount payable and the total amount due. TFG’s terms also state that you can view statements online after registering on Bash.
If you’re trying to work out why your balance changed, the statement is usually a better place to look than the current balance alone.
How to Pay Your TFG Money Account Online?
The easiest option for many customers is the online payment facility.
TFG/Bash currently provides online payment options that include:
- Visa or Mastercard credit/debit card
- Instant EFT through Stitch
- Payment through your Bash profile
- Direct payment using your 19-digit TFG Money card or account number
Supported banks listed for Instant EFT include Absa, African Bank, Capitec, FNB, Investec, Nedbank, Standard Bank, and TymeBank on the current Bash payment page.
If you’re paying through the online payment page, keep your 19-digit TFG Money account or card number nearby.
That’s the number you’ll need. Don’t use your ID number unless the specific service you’re using tells you to.
How to Pay TFG Money Account Using EFT?
You can also pay from your bank’s online banking platform.
TFG’s current EFT instructions list the following South African banking details:
- Bank: FNB Corporate Core Banking – Cape Town
- Branch code: 204109
- Account name: Foschini Retail Group (Pty) Ltd
- Account number: 55790008020
For the beneficiary reference, use your 19-digit TFG Money Account or card number.
You’ll generally need to add TFG as a beneficiary before making the payment.
Here’s where the process differs between banks.
For example, TFG’s Capitec instructions say to select Capitec-registered, choose Foschini 19-digit card and account, and enter your 19-digit card or account number.
FNB customers should search for TFG/Foschini Retail Group as a public recipient, while Standard Bank customers should search for Foschini Retail Group as a bank-approved company.
After making an EFT, keep the payment confirmation.
It’s a small step, but it’s useful if you later need to prove when and how you paid.
How to Pay TFG Money Account Through the Capitec App?
If you use Capitec, you can pay your TFG Money Account through your banking app.
First, add TFG as a beneficiary according to the current Capitec setup instructions.
TFG says Capitec customers should:
- Select Capitec-registered.
- Select Foschini 19-digit card and account.
- Enter your 19-digit TFG Money card or account number.
- Enter the amount you want to pay.
- Confirm the payment through Capitec.
The Capitec app may change as the bank updates its interface, so that labels may look slightly different over time. The key is to select the correct registered beneficiary and use the correct account reference.
Can You Pay Your TFG Money Account Without the Physical Card?
Yes, in some situations. For online payments, TFG lets you enter your 19-digit TFG Money card or account number instead of requiring the card.
You can also use online banking or other payment methods. So if you’ve misplaced your physical card, that doesn’t automatically mean you can’t make a payment.
You’ll still need the correct account information and should contact TFG customer services if you can’t access the details you need.
How to Access Your TFG Money Account Statement?
Your statement is useful when you want to see exactly what has happened on the account.
TFG says statements may include:
- Transactions
- Interest
- Other applicable charges
- Minimum amount payable
- Total amount due
- Payment information
Statements can be provided electronically, and TFG’s terms say customers can also view statements online after registering on Bash.
If you’re checking your account because the balance looks wrong, don’t just look at the final figure. Go through the transactions and compare them with your purchases and payments.
How to pay a TFG Money account on Bash?
- Go to Bash.com or open the Bash app and sign in.
- Go to your profile menu and select Manage Your Account (or access your Bash Wallet).
- Select the option to pay your account.
Choose your payment method (Credit/Debit card or Instant EFT), enter the desired payment amount, and complete the secure checkout steps.
Frequently Asked Questions About TFG Money Account Online
When Is the TFG Money Account Payment Due?
TFG states that TFG Money Account payments are due on or before the 1st of each month. The payment must reflect in TFG’s bank account by that date.
How can I access my TFG Money Account statement?
TFG sends a link to your statement by email or SMS each month. Your password is the ID or passport number you used when you applied for the account.

Can I log in to my TFG Money Account using my ID number via SMS?
Your ID number is used as the password for the monthly statement link when applicable. However, TFG’s published balance instructions don’t describe an online login where you simply enter your ID number by SMS to access the account.
For WhatsApp account inquiries, you’ll need your card or account number available.

Log in to your account profile via the Bash app (Bash Wallet) or the official TFG Money app to instantly view your current balance.
Can I pay my TFG Money account online using an ID number?

- Open and sign in to your Capitec Bank app.
- Tap on Transact.
- Select Pay bills (or look up TFG as an officially listed beneficiary/biller).

This is particularly useful if you’re already using Bash for TFG shopping and don’t want to manage the payment somewhere completely separate.
What happens if I don’t receive my statement?
Not receiving a statement doesn’t automatically cancel the amount you owe. TFG’s terms state that the required payment remains payable and that you can get account information through customer services, the website, or stores.
