If you woke up one morning and your banking app looked different, you’re not alone. TymeBank officially became GoTyme Bank on 22 January 2026. New name. New app. New look.
Same branch code.678910. That’s the GoTyme Bank branch code — carried over from TymeBank, unchanged, and valid for every GoTyme account in South Africa right now.
Nothing About Your Account Changed
Before anything else — if you were a TymeBank customer, this is what you need to know:
Your account number is the same. Your balance is the same. Your debit orders are still running. Your GoTyme branch code is still 678910. The registered company name is still TymeBank Limited. The bank’s licence from the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) is unchanged.
What changed is the name on the tin, the app design, and the branding. That’s it. No new account numbers. No new branch codes. No forms to fill in. Just download the GoTyme Bank app, log in with your existing details, and carry on.
So What’s 678910 Used For?
Every time a form, a payroll system, or a beneficiary screen asks for your GoTyme Bank branch code — 678910 is your answer. It works for:
- Receiving your salary.
- Setting up debit orders.
- EFTs from other banks.
- Government payment forms.
- SASSA-related setups.
- Any local South African transaction that needs a 6-digit branch code.
GoTyme has no physical branches and never has. There’s no Johannesburg code or Cape Town code. Just 678910, nationwide, for every single GoTyme account.

Why the Name Changed — The Short Version
GoTyme Bank South Africa is part of Tyme Group, a global digital banking company headquartered in Singapore. The group already operates as GoTyme Bank in the Philippines, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Keeping two names — TymeBank locally, GoTyme everywhere else — was getting messy.
So they unified. One group. One name. GoTyme Bank everywhere.
It’s not the first major shift for this bank. What started as a Deloitte project called “Take Your Money Everywhere” (TYME) in 2012 became TymeDigital, then TymeBank, and now GoTyme Bank. The business itself has gone from zero to over 12 million South African customers in under seven years — and became the first digital bank in Africa to reach profitability, in December 2023.
A new name feels minor compared to all that.
The New App — What’s Actually Different
The GoTyme Bank app went live on 22 January 2026, with customers migrating in phases. If you haven’t updated yet, you will be prompted to do so. Here’s what you’ll notice:
The design is cleaner and bolder — Tiffany blue meets charcoal black, which is a significant visual departure from TymeBank’s old look. Performance and security features have been improved behind the scenes. The app is more intuitive for managing savings, payments, and sending money.
Some features from the old TymeBank app are still being rolled out progressively. If something you used before isn’t showing up yet, it’s likely coming. GoTyme is communicating updates through the app and official channels as they go live.
You might be wondering if your old TymeBank card still works. Yes — existing physical cards remain valid until they expire naturally. No need to rush to a kiosk for a new one.
Finding Your GoTyme Account Details
Your branch code is always 678910. But for full banking details — account number, branch code, and account type together — here’s how to access them:
Open the GoTyme Bank app, tap on your account, and select account details. Everything is there, and you can share them directly from the app via SMS or email. Useful when HR needs your full banking info and you’re standing at the kiosk waiting.
Prefer speaking to someone? GoTyme Bank has invested in expanded customer care teams as part of the rebrand. Call 0860 999 119, seven days a week. The bank calls them “Helpful Humans” — which is either a great brand choice or a low bar, depending on your past experience with bank call centres.
For international transfers, the SWIFT code remains CBZAZAJJ — same as it was under TymeBank. Nothing there changed either.
One Thing Worth Watching
GoTyme Bank’s rebrand is fresh — as in, weeks old as of this article. The phased app rollout is still ongoing, and a small number of customers have reported features not yet available in the new app that existed in the old one. SME banking, for instance, is still being built out specifically for the new platform.
If you rely on GoTyme for business transactions, it’s worth checking the official GoTyme Bank channels for update timelines before assuming a feature is gone permanently. Most of what’s missing is in progress, not scrapped.
Banking with GoTyme and Need a Loan?
GoTyme Bank offers lending products including personal loans and its MoreTyme buy-now-pay-later facility. But if you want to see what other lenders might offer you alongside GoTyme — especially if your credit history is complicated — LoanHub24 lets you compare across multiple registered lenders without committing upfront.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my existing debit orders break because of the TymeBank to GoTyme Bank rebrand?
No. The rebrand was a name and branding change only. The underlying banking infrastructure, account numbers, and branch code 678910 all remained the same. Any debit orders set up under TymeBank continued processing without interruption after the rebrand.
Can I use my GoTyme Bank account to receive foreign currency payments?
For standard international wire transfers, you would use the SWIFT code CBZAZAJJ along with your account details. However, GoTyme Bank’s foreign currency capabilities are more limited compared to full-service banks like Standard Bank or Investec. If you regularly receive large international payments, it is worth confirming current capabilities directly with GoTyme Bank before relying on it as your primary account for cross-border transactions.
What’s the difference between a branch code and a SWIFT code?
Branch codes are for payments within South Africa only. SWIFT codes are for international transfers — when money crosses a border. If someone overseas is sending you money, they need your SWIFT code. If a colleague down the road is doing an EFT, they need your branch code. Never mix them up on an international transfer — it’ll either fail or take weeks to sort out.
What if I use the wrong branch code?
Your payment will likely be rejected or returned. In some cases it can be misdirected, though most banking systems cross-check the branch code against the account number and flag mismatches before processing. Always double-check before confirming any payment, especially larger ones. Recovering a misdirected payment is possible but slow and stressful.
