The governor of the Erongo Region, Mr Kleophas Mutjavikua,­ and the CEO of FNB, Mr Sarel van Zyl, officially opened the new Mondesa branch in Swakomund. In his address Van Zyl advised that the opening of the re-located Mondesa branch emphasized the commitment of FNB’s continued investment in Namibia and re­affirmation that customer service remains a top prio­rity for the bank.
He thanked all customers for their loyal support and pointed out that the face of banking in the world was changing­ at a rapid pace and FNB was proud to be in the fore­front of bringing that changing technology to Namibia.
“In order to reduce the cost of banking, we are introducing more and more digital banking solutions, and if we consider­ the take-up of those solutions, we are pleased to report that the Namib­ian market at large, is ready for this transform­ation.
“Very soon, we will be opening our first ‘staffless’ branch here in Swakopmund, where all services, including deposits, with­drawals, transfers etc, will be completely self-serviced.
“It is FNB’s commitment to bring and expand afford­able banking services to the non-banked­ and under banked areas in our country. It is also recognized that even for those with bank ­accounts, physical ­distances to branches or points of ­financial services add to transaction­al costs, thus FNB’s ongoing drive to take ­one-stop banking to as many ­Namibians as ­possible by using ­technology.”
Furthermore, FNB Namibia pledged its commitment to the Harambee Prosperity Plan, and integrated it into its long term business strategy.
“To that effect, we have already pledged N$3 million over the next three years to the Shack Dwellers Association to assist with the building of houses for the bottom end of the market.
“In addition, we will soon launch a very exciting­ home loans product aimed at the low to middle segment, and at our last board meeting, we approved a special fund to enhance the development of SME business in Namibia, something that will soon be taken to market as well.”
Mr. Tienie Mouton, FNB Erongo regional manager, said that FNB Namibia, as a great Namibian business creating a better world, saw the need to respond to the people’s­ call when they asked for an addition­al branch in the coastal town.
“We asked how we can help you. And our ­customers answered. The new FNB branch will no doubt beautify and enhance the image of Swakopmund and in particular Mondesa and I trust that our residents will receive fast, efficient and effective customer service from our staff.”
Mutjavikua celebrated the joyous occasion with the bank and thanked them for bringing ser­vices closer to the people, thereby ensuring that no one was left behind in the financial house of Swakop­mund.
“FNB is also adhering to the Harambee prosperity­ plan, particularly the Social Progression Pillar by creating employment in the region and for that we say ‘omake’.
“My call still remains that all banks ensure that their customers are financially literate and that no one is left out from the ­beneficial financial services in the country and particularly the Erongo region.”
