Autonomous system

Unclassified ARIN
Summary
First Rand Bank
business banking enterprise south-africa
FNBCONNECT is the autonomous system for First Rand Bank Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered to First Rand Bank Limited with the netname
ORG-FRBL1-AFRINIC, indicating a corporate internal network rather than a public ISP. - The AS announces 70,400 IPv4 addresses across 34 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with 17 observed neighbours. This ratio of a large, finely subdivided address inventory against a moderate number of peers suggests an internal corporate estate with site-by-site segmentation.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of the largest prefixes, including 41.183.192.0/18 and 41.183.0.0/19, are listed as First Rand Bank Limited, agreeing with the AS holder.
- First National Bank (FNB) is a division of FirstRand Bank Limited, which is an integrated financial services group in South Africa.
- The inventory consists primarily of 41.183.0.0/16 space, subdivided into /18, /19, /20, /21, /22, /23, and /24 blocks, alongside smaller allocations in 196.10.0.0/16 and 196.11.0.0/16.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
