FNB Users: New Payment Options for Purchasing Smart Devices
As part of its ongoing innovation and long-term ambition of ensuring that FNB Connect is a telco provider of choice for FNB customers, FNB has enabled a new functionality that will allow its customers to purchase smart devices over a 24 month repayment period on the FNB App. FNB Connect is made up of three-pillars, namely the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), devices and service provider.
The latest innovation allows customers to purchase devices across the following categories: Smartphones, Laptops, accessories, TVs, Gaming Consoles as well as Health and Fitness including smartwatches. The new functionality on the FNB App also features rotational categories for ‘Deal of the Week’ and ‘Hot Deals’ that offer market-leading value for money offers, helping customers manage their monthly telecommunications spend better with discounted deals.
“We are constantly refreshing our solutions to align with the step change in customers’ needs. This is also in line with our digital platform journey and ongoing commitment to empower our customers with tools to fully embrace an end-to-end digital experience.
