Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>FNB Namibia has launched the first fully digital account offering in Namibia, the FNB DigiPlus.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to a statement from the bank, the DigiPlus is a digital account that does not have monthly account fees, it can be opened and managed remotely using a cellphone, and is available to FNB and non-FNB customers alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis day has been one in the making for quite some time and we are absolutely delighted to have finally reached the point of unveiling this market-leading solution,\u201d said FNB retail banking executive Nangula Kauluma at the launch on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Kauluma said the DigiPlus account was branchless, created by the customer and managed through Unstructured Supplementary Service Data.<\/p>\n

This differs from traditional bank accounts where the customer has to visit the branch to open and manage an account.<\/p>\n

The DigiPlus account does not require a bank card for the customer to make withdrawals or deposits. The banking product allows the account holder to receive and send funds from FNB and other banks, make transfers between accounts, including the FNB Savings Pocket, buy prepaid electricity and airtime, send eWallets, and make cardless cash withdrawals and deposits at any CashPlus agent.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the bank of the #Changeables, we understand that delivering shared value and bringing about positive change requires courage for deep thinking, unrelenting commitment to innovation and fundamentally doing our part in building a better today and tomorrow for our nation,\u201d said Kauluma.<\/p>\n

She said FNB remains committed to providing a range of unique and innovative solutions that are centred around true customer value. The DigiPlus account forms an important part of the bank’s journey in an ever-evolving world, to make the customer experience as convenient, safe and secure as possible.<\/p>\n

FNB chief executive Erwin Tjipuka reinforced FNB’s commitment to help build a globally competitive Namibia, with the understanding of all the social and economic challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinancial inclusion is widely recognised as an important cornerstone of improved economic and social outcomes. It allows all individuals to manage their consumption, payments, and savings and ultimately to fully participate in the financial system and national economy. This is especially true for previously excluded groups such as individuals in rural areas, those employed in the informal sector and even those not in the workforce,\u201d Tjipuka said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFNB has certainly demonstrated commitment, capability and willingness to enable financial inclusion. While financial literacy may be the starting point, it is only part of the equation as consumers need actual products and modalities for applying the knowledge to result in actual financial capability,\u201d said Kauluma.<\/p>\n
