Many Happy Returns, Namibia!

“On 21 March Namibia will celebrate 27 years of Independence while FNB Namibia proudly looks back at more than 110 years in this beautiful country of ours,” says FNB Namibia’s Chief Marketing Officer, Tracy Eagles. Says Tracy, “FNB Namibia is a proudly a bank for all, listed on our Namibian Stock Exchange, with a broad-based Namibian shareholding.”

With the greatest commercial bank reach - countrywide - and the leading innovations in digital technology to assist all Namibians through services like ewallet, deposit-taking ATM’s and mobile facilities countrywide, FNB Namibia makes financial inclusivity a priority that benefits all Namibians.

“While we look forward to being a responsible partner to the Namibian government for many years to come and congratulate them on 27 years of Independence, at the same time, our best wishes also go to thank our customers for choosing us to enable their financial independence. Whether our customers are investing, insuring, borrowing or transacting, our ‘how can we help you’ hand-in-hand approach to addressing Namibia’s planet concerns, and the partnering of individual and business potential towards local growth and development, is our passion and our ongoing commitment. Year on year, we always wish all Namibians Many Happy Returns!”

The Government’s Harambee Prosperity Plan paves the way for prosperity for all and the private sector has a huge role to play to ensure that inclusivity and wealth creation becomes a way of life for all Namibians.

“FNB Namibia has been working towards these goals for many years, be it through employment creation, skills transfer to Namibians, share transfer to locals, and product and service offerings for all levels of society, individual, commercial and corporate, and through corporate social investment,” said Tracy.

FNB Namibia recently reported on the value it creates every year through its operations and the profit it makes. In 2016 35% of profit before tax was re-invested by the Group in Namibia, while local shareholders received 13% and the Namibian government 30% in taxation monies. The share of value created outside operations included an amount of 10.3 million invested via the FNB Namibia Holdings Foundation Trust. In terms of sponsorship FNB Namibia spent another 10 million into local communities countrywide, together more than doubling the Financial Services Sector’s Charter CSI requirement of 1% net profit after tax.

“We allocate this - not because we have to - but because we enjoy community partnership and development and are encouraged by the growth of inclusive banking. We believe the protection and development of society, the economy and the environment are vitally important to the growth of the nation and we enjoy helping people and the country grow and prosper.”
