Before you can start paying bills with EasyPay, you'll need to set it up on your Nedbank app. Don't worry, it's a piece of cake. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:

1. Download and Install the Nedbank Money App: If you haven't already, head over to your app store (Google Play Store for Android or App Store for iOS) and download the Nedbank Money App. Make sure it's the official app to avoid any security risks.
2. Register or Log In: Once the app is installed, open it up. If you're a first-time user, you'll need to register. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your profile. If you already have an account, simply log in with your existing username and password.
3. Navigate to the EasyPay Section: Once you're logged in, look for the "EasyPay" or "Pay Bills" section. It's usually located in the main menu or under the "Payments" tab. If you're having trouble finding it, use the app's search function.
4. Add Beneficiaries: Now, this is where you'll add the companies or service providers you want to pay. Click on the "Add Beneficiary" or "Add Company" option. You'll need to provide the EasyPay reference number for each beneficiary. This number is usually found on your bill or statement. Make sure you enter it correctly to avoid any payment errors.
5. Verify Beneficiary Details: After entering the EasyPay reference number, the app should automatically display the beneficiary's name and other details. Double-check this information to ensure it's accurate. If everything looks good, confirm the addition of the beneficiary.
6. Set Up Payment Method: You'll need to link your Nedbank account to EasyPay. Select the account you want to use for making payments. You might be asked to verify your account details for security purposes.
