The FNB Banking App has published its latest version to App stores and it is packed with new features, a new look and feel, account opening, personalised customer offers and inward SWIFT payments from abroad.
The refreshed look and feel makes the App visually more appealing, and more importantly, even easier to use. The FNB App is available across major smartphone platforms including iOS (Apple), Android, and Windows Mobile. Blackberry v10 will be available soon.
A new innovation on this latest version of the FNB App is the ability to open an account, from start to finish using the banking app, in under 10 minutes. Other than FNB’s tablet app, this has not been possible to do on an App in South Africa until now. Customers can now open cheque accounts, credit cards and investment accounts from the convenience of the FNB Banking App for both smartphones and tablets.
Personalised product offers takes the hassle out of banking by matching specific products to customers based on their individual characteristics. FNB Banking App users will be able to get pre-approved loans, accounts and investments offered to them as soon as they login, without having to search for them.
“With this new feature we can ensure that customers using our App only receive personalised and relevant product offers,” says Giuseppe Virgillito, Head of Banking App, FNB Mobile and Connect.
FNB has also launched SWIFT Payments on the FNB Banking App, allowing customers to receive payments from abroad from their smartphones.
Over the last year, the FNB Banking App has delivered a number of new features, such as the ability to purchase iTunes codes for customers or as gifts. A new eBucks menu also lets customers check balances, reward levels and more. Share Investing and Stock broking, which was introduced in October last year, means that customers can also trade shares, equities and view other instruments in real time.
“Technology improves at a rapid pace and we work hard to harness new technologies and innovation to bring something relevant and useful to our customers. The latest version of our App does just that,” concludes Virgillito.
