Data-free app use launched by FNB Namibia

In an effort to reduce costs and pave the way for all Namibians to bank anywhere, anytime without additional costs, FNB Namibia and partner MTC has announce that the FNB App has been zero rated, which means customers will not need data or credit to do their banking on their phone via the FNB App.

“We are proud to once again introduce a solution that will enable all Namibians to bank anywhere, anytime from the palm of their hands. Our mission is to make banking inclusive, affordable and convenient for all our customers, and zero data costs speak to the heart of help, which is what we stand for as a bank,” said the chief executive officer of FNB Namibia, Sarel van Zyl.

He said since the launch of our FNB banking App in 2013, it has been actively used and downloaded by Namibians. “We are proud that this innovation has become key in offering our customers an alternative banking solution where customers can transact, borrow, invest, and communicate – now at no data cost at all.”

With the FNB Banking App users can make geo payments, make use of eWallet functionality, make payments (including once off payments), transfer funds between FNB accounts, view detailed balances and transaction histories, add, edit, or delete recipients, send money to any Namibian cellphone number, transfer money from your eWallet to your transactional account, buy prepaid electricity and airtime and receive inContact messages to name but a few – while being rewarded with cash back directly into their savings pocket for doing so.
