While mobile operators have called on the South African government to provide more spectrum to bring down the cost of data, First National Bank (FNB) says it will be giving away millions of gigs of data to customers who use the FNB app starting on 1 November 2017.
The bank says the incentive is the ongoing focus on customer centricity encouraging customers to utilise digital channels and the right banking products.
FNB says a monthly reward of 1 Gigabyte (GB) is given each month to any customer that makes a financial transaction on the FNB App. Large data rewards are given for taking up any of the newly launched FNB ConeXis smartphone deals or taking up qualifying FNB banking products. Each FNB customer can get up to 160 Gigabytes (GB) of data.
The bank says the offer is a first of its kind in South Africa.
Shadrack Palmer, Chief Commercial Officer at FNB Connect says while they usually see a spike data usage during the festive period, the bank wants customers to stay connected.
“Our unique offer does not only help customers to stay connected, it will also help them stretch their festive season budgets by saving on additional data costs. The timing of the data give away is in tune with the needs of South African consumers at this time of the year.”
The data incentives can only be used on the FNB Connect network and will be free of charge for customers.
It will be over and above the eBucks rewards that qualifying FNB customers get for using the bank’s digital ecosystem and other eligible products.
The free data incentive will run until the 31 January 2018.
