FNB says that the latest version of its Banking App for smartphones offers customers the ability to send money across the border from South Africa to Zimbabwe and Mozambique.<\/p>\n
FNB\u2019s Zimbabwe Money Transfer service was first launched on Cellphone Banking in April 2013 to enable qualifying FNB customers in South Africa to send money to residents in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
The capability to send money to Zimbabwe through Online Banking followed in November 2013 and the Mozambique money transfer on both of these platforms was launched in June 2014.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe rollout of our services on the FNB Banking App has always been driven by customer demand,\u201d said Giuseppe Virgillito, head of Banking App, FNB Mobile and Connect.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Money Transfer service is an important addition to the FNB Banking App as there is a growing need for ease of payments between countries and with an increase in affordable smartphones, more customers will be using App banking for all their banking needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe value that FNB\u2019s Money Transfer service adds to our customers\u2019 lives is evident. Being able to send money instantly from your phone, desk or smart device makes this a truly convenient and affordable way to send money home in an emergency, as the sender does not need to take time off work or travel to a branch or agency,\u201d said Leonora van der Plas, head of cross-border Remittances at FNB.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have every intention of continually enhancing FNB\u2019s cross-border remittance service functionality on the FNB Banking App as it affords customers a convenient and improved banking experience,\u201d concludes van der Plas.<\/p>\n
