BANKINGASWEKNEWIT
Banking as we knew it Intimidating Limited advice “You have to wear a suit before visiting a branch.” “How can I grow my wealth and reduce my debt?” Complicated fee structures Don’t get things right the first time “What am I paying for?” “I have to go back to the branch. Again.” Complicated products Unequal treatment “What products will suit my needs?” “What do I have to do to get a black card?”
Disruptionand Thebanking revolution
The banking revolution – ‘treat me like a valued individual’ Know me and my needs Simplify Create products that address my specific concerns. Use language that I understand. Care about me Design processes that make my life easier Help me to reach my financial goals. Let’s get it right the first time. Save me time Protect me Come to me, don’t expect me to come to you. Unless I CHOOSE to go to the bank. Make me feel safe online.

our strategy
Customer centricity This is what our customers say…. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. Understanding our customers and delivering on their needs is key to building a sustainable organisation. Management team actively getting closer to our customers e.g. Customer safari Overall brand sentiment continues to increase - we are building solid trust among South African consumers ‘I was really impressed with the fact that I can open an account online and literally be done with it. I hate the waiting period and 100 pages that one gets to sign in other banks.’ This is what our customers say…. ‘I just want to say big up to African Bank. I was going through financial crisis. You understood my problem and asked me to select the best suitable payment plan. I kept to my agreement and today my loans are paid up and I’m a happy man. Well done to you guys for understanding customer needs and also listening to my problems and being willing to help.’
Culture We have extraordinary people. Culture eats strategy for breakfast…. lunch and dinner!’ Original quote by Peter Drucker We have extraordinary people. Our 2019 people engagement score is 60%. Up from 58 % in 2018. SA benchmark is 38%
