  • The account must only be used for the safe keeping of funds belonging to the Legal Practitioner's clients

    The funds contained in this account are not owned by the principal client (the Legal Practitioner) as they are only controlled by virtue of a fiduciary relationship for the third party/client of the Legal Practitioner. It is used by Legal Practitioners to hold funds on customers' behalf. In line with this requirement, no cards or overdrafts are available for these accounts to protect the integrity of audit trails and the funds held in trust.

    To prevent the trust account from overdrawing, a linked business account must be opened in conjunction, as it allows customers to redirect the fees and VAT charges of the trust account, to the Legal Practitioners' main FNB Business Account (transactional account).

    The Legal Practitioners S86(2) Trust Account should only reflect the trust monies and all fees and interest need to be settled against the transactional Business account and not from the funds held in trust.

    Attorneys can sign up for the Managed Option functionality which simplifies the mandatory payments to the law society (in terms of section 78(1) of the Attorneys Act 53 of 1979). The system is automated to reconcile interest and charges monthly, enabling the automatic transfers of surplus credit interest earned on the account to automatically be paid to the relevant provincial law society. The VAT portion of the fees and any fees not offset against the interest will be redirected to the transactional Business Account. The FNB Attorney's Trust Account has been designed for registered attorneys managing or holding funds in trust on behalf of clients or third parties. It is regulated by section 78(1) of the Attorneys Act 53 of 1979. The funds contained in this account are not owned by the principal client (the Legal Practitioner) as they are only controlled by virtue of a fiduciary relationship for the third party/client of the attorney.
