Random question but it really bugs me that FNB and I think most other South African banks still use SMS/Email based secondary authentication OTPs. Are you guys planning on using TOTP by any chance?

Hey spookyuser, yeah we do, i.e. Authy/Google Authenticator supported :)

Just FYI: Capitec uses their mobile app for that (or you can also get a keychain with an authenticator).

Really? That's great. I didn't know that. FNB should get on it then. In general FNB seems to have 'poor' security. You can't even paste a password in when resetting or signing up. They seem to just want me to be making week passwords.

FNB also does OTP within their own mobile app.

It's not TOTP 2FA though right? I couldn't add it to authy if I wanted.
