She emphasised that it is never to early to begin building a solid future for the children based on an appreciation of the value of money and learning a basic saving disciple. “The new youth account comes with a customized debit card, no monthly management fees, free cash deposits and you can open the account wit a minimum of N$50,” she added. Baronice Hans, Head of Personal and Business Banking, Standard Bank said that the Digi Youth Account Debit Cards are readily available at all Standard Bank branches, and that they are looking forward to creating a generation of responsible and financially savy future leaders.
