Bank Zero is planning a gradual move from its current beta testing to a public launch with people who supplied their details on the Bank Zero website next year.<\/p>\n

This is feedback from Bank Zero founder Michael Jordaan, who was responding to questions from MyBroadband.<\/p>\n

In May Jordaan said Bank Zero planned to launch a controlled public beta early in the second half of 2020.<\/p>\n

The new digital bank published its pricing guide for individual and business customers in October, but a public launch has been pushed out to 2021.<\/p>\n

Bank Zero CEO Yatin Narsai said they will not be doing a \u201cbig bang\u201d launch, especially this late in the year with many people already away on leave.<\/p>\n

Instead of a big launch, Bank Zero said it will learn from customer feedback and incorporate such feedback before opening the gates.<\/p>\n

Narsai said this approach will allow them to manage volumes and incorporate important customer feedback.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur transition to public availability will be fast but controlled,\u201d Narsai said. \u201cThe transition happens early 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bank Zero account pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bank Zero only offers one account type because it doesn\u2019t believe in the practice of luring customers in with an entry-level account that has limited functionality.<\/p>\n

The same pricing structure is offered across individual and business banking. It currently supports (Pty) Ltd\u2019s, CCs, and Sole Proprietors, with trusts and partnerships to be included at a later date.<\/p>\n
