“It’s a good time to bank with Nedbank,” says the company’s head of marketing and communications, Gernot de Klerk. “We’re improving our competitive position and already offer some of the most competitive services in the market. The N$1 million giveaway is an incentive to our clients who are helping us climb the competitive ladder.”
“We’re genuinely excited about the shift in the general perception of people at the moment, choosing Nedbank as their preferred banking partner.”
A recent independent study has shown that Nedbank is making significant inroads in the banking competitive environment. “There are important instances where we rank first and second in the marketplace as far as banking services are concerned,” says De Klerk. “On average Nedbank is among the top banks providing the best value in terms of the critical banking functions of loans and deposits.”
The other important component for banking competitiveness is transactional banking. In this regard Nedbank has successfully implemented an advanced core banking system that provides a platform for improved transactional services to clients to cater for their needs now and into the future. “Apart from current improved transaction functionality, there are a few exciting projects underway and we look forward to rolling them out soon. So watch this space.”
Nedbank is also in the process of making available its new secure Chip-and-Pin cards. To top it off, Nedbank also received the Customer Service Excellence Award in the banking category for the last two years, rounding off a competitive product with competitive service.
“Perceptions abound about who the most competitive banks in Namibia are, so we have introduced the N$1 million incentive for new and existing clients to come experience the banking convenience that Nedbank offers for them,” de Klerk noted. Anyone who banks with Nedbank, including new and existing clients, from now until March 2017, will stand a chance to win their share of N$1 million.
Opening and transacting with a Nedbank account, taking out a loan (including home loans, vehicle loans or personal loans), investing with Nedbank, or transacting with a Nedbank credit card or electronic banking will get you an entry into the competition. The big draw for clients is moving their salary over to Nedbank, which gives them 10 entries into the draw to win a share of N$1 million.
The N$1 million will be disbursed on a monthly basis, with N$50 000 being given away every month from now until March 2017, and two bonus prizes of N$250 000 going to a new or existing Nedbank client in November 2016 and March 2017, respectively.
