WELCOME TO INVESTEC PRIVATE BANKING


GETTING STARTED AND SELF SERVICE TIPS





YOUR GUIDE TO ACTIVATING YOUR ACCOUNT AND GETTING STARTED ON YOUR PRIVATE
BANKING JOURNEY – AS WELL AS USEFUL SELF-SERVICE TIPS FOR INVESTEC ONLINE AND
THE APP.

 * Set up your account
 * Self-service tips

 * Categories
   
   
    * Set up your account
    * Self-service tips



 * Decrypting password protected documents
   
   
   
   HOW TO SHARE A NON-PROTECTED VERSION OF YOUR DOCUMENT
   
   To share a non-password-protected version of your document with a trusted
   party, please use your personal computer to decrypt and print your
   statements. Not all PDF applications on mobile phones can decrypt
   password-protected documents.
   
   Follow these easy steps:
   
   
   
    * Open the document and enter your password to open it
    * Select ‘File’ in the top left and ‘Print’
    * Under ‘Printer’, use the drop down and select ‘Microsoft Print to PDF’
    * Click on ‘Print’ on the bottom left
    * Enter a file name and choose where to save the file
    * Click on ‘Save’
   
    
   
   

 * Increasing your online payment limit
   
   
   
   There are two ways you can access the ability to increase your online
   payments limit once logged into Investec Online. 
   
    1. Select an account from the dashboard, select ‘Update limits’
    2. From the menu, go to ‘My Banking’ and ‘Update limits’
   
   * Only a designated online banker can update limits. You cannot update online
   payment limits from the App.
   
    
   
    * Select an account. The limit applies only to selected account. If you want
      to update limit for another account, you will need to repeat the process.
    * Set limit. Select the individual you want to change the limit for. This
      can be used for multiple user access (MUA).
    * New limit. You can enter the new limit amount in this field.
    * Limit available. This indicates the current limit minus the
      limit utilised.
    * Limit used. This is the calculation of total transactions that make up the
      limit (eg, payments to external accounts, VAS purchases)
    * Temporary or permanent. This shows whether the change in limit is
      temporary or permanent.
      * Temporary limit changes mean that the online payments limit will go back
        to the default limit amount on the first day of every month.
      * We suggest changes made to limits are temporary to provide greater
        security and prevent against possible fraud.
    * After submitting the change of your online payments limit, you will see a
      summary page of the changes.
    * You need to check the box that indicates you confirm and agree to the
      changes.
    * After this, you will receive a second factor authentication to accept the
      change. This could be InApp, USSD or OTP.
