What is the password for a Nedbank statement PDF?

The password for a Nedbank e-statement PDF is your full 13-digit South African ID number, entered with no spaces or separators. Example: 9001015800087. For foreign nationals, use the passport number registered with the bank. This applies to all Nedbank account types: savings, cheque, credit card, Greenbacks, and business accounts.

What is the Nedbank credit card statement password?

Same format: full 13-digit SA ID. Nedbank credit card statements use the primary cardholder's SA ID. For supplementary cards issued on a primary cardholder's account, the primary holder's SA ID still applies — the supplementary cardholder does not have their own password.

How do I download a Nedbank statement?

Nedbank Money app: open the app → tap your account → Statements → select period → Download. Nedbank Online Banking: log in at onlineservices.nedbank.co.za → Accounts → Statements → choose period → Download PDF. Both produce a password-protected PDF that opens with your full SA ID.

What if the Nedbank password doesn't work?

Confirm you're entering the full 13-digit SA ID (not the last 6 like Standard Bank, not a combination like FNB). Check that the SA ID on file at Nedbank matches your physical ID document (log in → Profile). For joint accounts, use the primary holder's SA ID. For non-citizens, use the passport number on file. Nedbank support: 0860 555 111.

Can I use DOB instead of SA ID?

Only as a fallback for very old Nedbank statements (pre-2015). The current Nedbank format is the full 13-digit SA ID. If DDMMYYYY doesn't open a recent statement, always try the full SA ID first.

How do I remove the Nedbank PDF password?

Open the PDF with your SA ID password in Adobe Reader, Preview on Mac, or a Chrome tab. Use File → Print → Save as PDF to create an unlocked copy. The re-saved PDF opens without a password and is safe to share or upload.
