FNB is adding LinkedIn and Pinterest to its promotion through which FNB Connect users can browse social websites for free between 7 and 11 pm.<\/p>\n
The promotion initially applied to Facebook, YouTube and Twitter and has now been extended to Pinterest and LinkedIn.<\/p>\n
“The social networking phenomenon is something which we as a bank have embraced, so we saw this as a good opportunity to give back,\u201d said Farren Roper, head of FNB Connect ISP and business operations.<\/p>\n
According to the recent South African Social Media Landscape 2012 study, produced by World Wide Worx and Fuseware, LinkedIn is the largest professional network in the world, with a presence in over 200 countries.<\/p>\n
In South Africa it is estimated that more than 1.9 million South Africans have a profile on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n
Pinterest is also one of the fastest growing social networks globally, FNB said.<\/p>\n
The promotion joins benefits already in effect for qualifying FNB customers.<\/p>\n
FNB customers currently get up to 5GB of free monthly ADSL data – and free ADSL access to FNB websites like FNB Online, FNB Connect, eBucks.com, as well as educational sites such as learn.co.za and South African universities.<\/p>\n
