Pre-paid electricity now by FNB internet banking

First National Bank (FNB) recently announced that as of March it is possible for FNB customers to purchase pre-paid electricity from CenoRED and Erongo RED by using FNB Namibia Cellphone banking, Online banking and ATM’s.
Desery Van Wyk, Manager Cellphone Banking advised that feedback from clients at the coast and North has been positive and they have thanked FNB for making this possible.
FNB has responded to the inconvenience of finding an open vendor, transforming what used to be a public transaction into a private purchase which the customer can effect in the safety of his or her own home. Using internet banking for pre-paid will also eliminate the opportunity for crooked vendor to exploit the system, an event which lead to the breakdown of pre-paid vending last year.
“We are also extremely excited to announce that NORED is coming soon. Customers will then be able to purchase electricity for City of Windhoek, Erongo RED, CenoRED and NORED,” she said.
Van Wyk added: “We are proud that our coastal and central northern customers are now also enjoying convenient, affordable and a safer option of purchasing prepaid electricity from the safety and security of their own homes. In the FNB mission it states that we wish to create sustainable wealth for all stakeholders through discipline, innovation, empowerment, value-added partnerships and a passion for service excellence.
