“Even without their documents on hand, customers will be able to know if they qualify for their dream vehicle in just 20 minutes. We have invested in making our customers experience fast and easy service by ensuring our application processes are accessible.
“Once we receive those applications, we will ensure they are processed speedily.

“Application for Vehicle and Asset Finance is also easy and convenient via the FNB App, through our toll-free contact centre, and through our WesBank Business Development officers, who will be at the Trade Fair,” he says.
Concluding, Mkhonta reiterated the importance of mobility, noting that it allowed small businesses to provide efficient and timely services to their customers.
“Whether it is a delivery service, a mobile repair shop, or a catering business, having a reliable vehicle ensures that they can meet their customers’ needs promptly. This not only enhances customer satisfaction but also builds a positive reputation for their brand and WesBank is here for that,” he says.
Chairman of the Eswatini Investment Promotions Authority (EIPA), Theo Hlophe, speaking at the handover of the vehicle sponsored by WesBank last Tuesday, said this was significant support to the annual showcase.
“Nisente bantfu’ (You have greatly assisted us). We appreciate all our partners, and we are cognizant that we would not be at this stage without your support.
