When to use the Investec branch code 580105

Salary setup : give 580105 to your employer as the branch code, plus your Investec account number and account name.

Debit orders and DebiCheck : 580105 identifies Investec in the PASA national payments system, regardless of which branch holds your account.

Incoming EFT from another bank : the sender (Capitec, FNB, Standard Bank, etc.) needs your account name, Investec account number, and 580105.

Bill payment via EFT : not required if you pay through the Investec app (the bank already knows its own code). Required if the billing authority processes via EFT batch.

You do NOT need the branch code for in-app transfers within Investec.

Investec branch code vs SWIFT code

The branch code 580105 is for DOMESTIC transfers within South Africa (EFT). For receiving an INTERNATIONAL wire (from overseas), you need Investec's SWIFT/BIC code instead — not the branch code.

Frequently asked questions

What is Investec's branch code?

580105. It is the universal code that covers ALL Investec branches in South Africa. You do NOT need a separate code for your local branch.

Do I need my specific Investec branch code?

No. Investec uses a universal code system: the same 580105 works for every branch nationwide. This is different from Nigeria and Ghana, where each branch has its own code.

What is the difference between a branch code and an account number?

The branch code identifies the BANK (and in Nigeria/Ghana, the branch). The account number identifies YOUR personal account at that bank. For a South African EFT, you provide both: 580105 for Investec + your Investec account number.

Is Investec's branch code the same as its SWIFT code?

No. The branch code (580105) is used for DOMESTIC EFT transfers within South Africa. The SWIFT/BIC code is used for INTERNATIONAL transfers (from overseas). See our Investec SWIFT code page for transfers from outside South Africa.

When do I use the Investec branch code?

When setting up a debit order (DebiCheck, standing order), giving your banking details to an employer (salary setup), receiving an EFT to your Investec account from another South African bank, or for bill payment. Not needed for in-app transfers within the Investec mobile banking app.
