ABSA ranked second with 1.5 million unique monthly visitors and Standard Bank third with 1.4 million unique browsers.<\/p>\n<p>What makes FNB\u2019s performance even more impressive is that, with 7.6 million clients, it is significantly smaller than ABSA with 12.2 million clients, and Standard Bank with 10.5 million clients.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly FNB is growing faster than any other bank in the country, with 1.7 million new accounts created at the bank over the last year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20221\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/SA-banks-online.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20221\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20221\" title=\"South African banks online\" src=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/SA-banks-online.jpg\" alt=\"South African banks online\" width=\"550\" height=\"688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/SA-banks-online.jpg 550w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/SA-banks-online-239x300.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-20221\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">South African banks online<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Top banking brands in South Africa\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/banking\/19474\/top-banking-brands-in-south-africa\/\"><strong>Top banking brands in South Africa<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Are banks selling your information?\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/banking\/18697\/are-banks-selling-your-information\/\"><strong>Are banks selling your information?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"BusinessTech Article\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/general\/18542\/most-popular-bank-accounts-in-sa\/\"><strong>Most popular bank accounts in SA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"BusinessTech Article\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/banking\/18968\/sa-banks-have-strong-ethos-and-culture-standard-bank\/\"><strong>SA banks have strong ethos and culture: Standard Bank<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"BusinessTech Article\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/banking\/18774\/nedbank-unveils-my-financial-life\/\"><strong>Nedbank unveils My Financial Life<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New information from Effective Measure sheds light on the South African banks with the largest online audience<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7047,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[961],"tags":[29,3882,76,26,499],"class_list":["post-20220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-banking","tag-absa","tag-effective-measure","tag-fnb","tag-headline","tag-standard-bank"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20220"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20220\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20289,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20220\/revisions\/20289"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
