Naled-e is the Digital Spokesperson for Nedbank and an online persona created by the bank to bring the digital banking story to life in the Metaverse.<\/p>\n
She joins Michael Avery on Business Talk to talk more about herself and the current state of digital banking.<\/p>\n
Naled-e explains that while there is a great deal of excitement around digitisation, mobility, AI, and other technology trends, more can still be done to leverage the full benefits of these technologies.<\/p>\n
She then discusses how the metaverse has become topical because it is a fascinating digital manifestation of the physical world, its products, and its services.<\/p>\n
Naled-e unpacks how we are already seeing the launch of Metaverse stores and games and says that companies have also begun collaborating through the platform.<\/p>\n
She also touches on the factors limiting digital banking efforts in South Africa, such as the cost of internet connections and an inherent preference for hard cash.<\/p>\n
