FNB launches eBucks in Botswana

FirstRand became the the first banking group to launch a secure electronic rewards currency in Botswana, when the FNB eBucks programme went live on 19 September.

“We are very proud and excited to expand and introduce the programme into the Botswana market,” says Johan Moolman, chief executive officer of eBucks Rewards South Africa.

"Essentially, the better you bank with FNB, whether via ATM deposits or purchases using our electronic channels, the more you earn and save on your monthly budget,” he says.

The programme works pretty much the same way as it does in South Africa. Clients earn eBucks by using FNB products which they can redeem for items such as prepaid airtime and prepaid electricity.

The timing for launch coincides with the bank’s 25th Anniversary celebrations in Botswana and marking the countries 50th year of independence.
