“Global trends indicate that Apps and digital in Africa should not be ignored. We foresee that eventually as supply increases and prices of smart devices fall that more people will have access to these devices to be able to transact using our digital channels,” says Michael Kloeck, Head of Expansion, FNB Mobile and Connect. “We see this as a step in the right direction and preparation for the future of Banking in Africa.”

“Africa is on the verge of a technology explosion, despite the well known documented challenges with connectivity. Our smartphone App includes an eWallet, which enables us to reach the underserviced and underbanked with a mobile money solution. Our African customers will also have access to value added services such as free messages and calls between App users, aimed at addressing African problems of high costs of communication as well as Geo Payments, our unique person-to-person cashless mobile money solution,” says Kloeck.

“When our in house FNB App was designed, specific considerations were scalability and quick deployment into African territories so this is the beginning of a long term strategy. FNB is now a global bank and with this technology we are delighted to be taking our world class mobile solutions to our African clients,” concludes Haynes.
