FNB is set to launch its own mobile operator under its FNB Connect brand, which will offer subscribers great value for money through its eBucks rewards programme.<\/p>\n

According to the eBucks website, FNB clients will earn up to 40% back in eBucks on their qualifying FNB Connect contract or when they load FNB Connect prepaid airtime from 15 June 2015.<\/p>\n

Currently FNB offers ADSL and 3G data rewards through its FNB Connect offering, which will now be expanded to include mobile voice and data products.<\/p>\n

The bank is already established in the telecommunications space with over 2 million customers topping up with airtime and bundles monthly and over 285,000 discounted smart devices sold since 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cMobility and banking innovation are now synonymous in the minds of FNB customers, we are excited to launch a South African first for banking via FNB Connect as the next step in our digital evolution,\u201d said Jacques Celliers, CEO of FNB.<\/p>\n

SIM cards will be sold separately from devices and customers will be able to choose from a range of mobile voice and data products.<\/p>\n

FNB will also be the first to market with a prepaid Auto Top-Up recharge feature where customers will be topped up automatically when their airtime balance drops below R5.<\/p>\n

Customers will also have the benefit of qualifying to earn up to 40% back in eBucks on any FNB Connect mobile offering from 1 July this year.<\/p>\n

Information received by MyBroadband about the new FNB mobile service suggests it will use the Cell C network. This was not confirmed by FNB.<\/p>\n

According to information received by MyBroadband, FNB will offer Prepaid, Top Up, Contract, and Flexi packages.<\/p>\n

The official pricing released by FNB is as follows:<\/p>\n
