Botswana Savings Bank is therefore playing an important role in our economy, by taking banking services to the unbanked population so that they are not left behind,\u201d he said. He further urged the people of Kanye to take advantage of BSB\u2019s affordable financial products as individuals and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>According to Molelowatladi, BSB has savings and investment products tailor-made for people\u2019s needs and these can be of aid in uplifting lives or growing their businesses. \u201cI also encourage Batswana to diversify their savings portfolio beyond the traditional forms of investments, such as cattle, to include other financial assets,\u201d he said. Currently, BSB has four BSB standalone branches in Gaborone, Francistown, Palapye and Molepolole and will soon open another one in Maun. The bank also has four co-branded branches with BotswanaPost at Rail Park in Gaborone, Mahalapye, Hukuntsi and Serowe.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, through the BotswanaPost offices network countrywide, BSB\u2019s banking services and products are delivered to its customers across 124 post offices. In 2016, BSB launched its first card-based transactional account. This account enabled customers to transact with their VISA compliant cards at any ATM across the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
