Making the right<br />

things happen<br />

FOCUS<br />

Innovation, technological advancement and well-trained<br />

staff are keys to Nedbank’s success.<br />

Nedbank continues to build on its client-centred strategy,<br />

which is aimed at delivering distinctive experiences and<br />

channels of choice. This has seen the bank simplify and<br />

enhance its product offering in line with its great-value<br />

banking philosophy, based on simplicity, transparency and affordability.<br />

Innovation and technological advancements as well as training<br />

and development of staff have been key pillars in achieving the bank’s<br />

objectives. Nedbank has also placed emphasis on client engagement<br />

to better understand the diverse and individual client needs across its<br />

personal and business banking base.<br />

"Innovation is an integral component of a holistic approach that<br />

encompasses our systems and processes and these enable us to<br />

deliver distinctive client experiences. Despite the tough economic<br />

environment, Retail and <strong>Business</strong> Banking have delivered value to<br />

our shareholders while significantly improving our client experience.<br />

Through these milestones, we are well geared to weather the persisting<br />

macroeconomic environment, and highly competitive business conditions,"<br />

says Fayzel Omar: Regional General Manager of KZN at Nedbank.<br />

Dedicated <strong>Business</strong> Managers and Product Specialists working<br />

through an empowered "Client Service Team" ensure service delivery<br />

with significant benefits.<br />

In <strong>KwaZulu</strong>-<strong>Natal</strong> we have two regional head offices based in<br />

Durban (headed up by Regional <strong>Business</strong> Head Siphamandla Ndlovu)<br />

and Pietermaritzburg (headed up by Regional <strong>Business</strong> Head John<br />

Bush) with further offices situated in Richards Bay, Port Shepstone,<br />

Newcastle and Pongola. We service small and medium privately owned<br />

businesses and agricultural farming entities throughout the province.<br />

To this end, Nedbank has launched several first-in-the-marketplace<br />

innovations such as the award-winning Nedbank App Suite, Home<br />

Loans Online Digital Channel and Market Edge, as well as the "Branch<br />

of the Future" concept in communities and nationally.<br />

"Working with communities is entrenched in our values through<br />

community development, skills development, education and job creation<br />

as well as environmental conservation. We believe our fast-growing<br />

presence in the province goes a long way in enabling greater financial<br />

inclusion while contributing towards economic growth," says Omar.<br />

Regional <strong>Business</strong> Head<br />

Durban<br />

John Bush, Regional<br />

<strong>Business</strong> Head<br />

Pietermaritzburg<br />

These are just a few of the<br />

ways that Nedbank continues to<br />

make the things that really matter<br />

with businesses and communities<br />

happen.<br />
