Nedbank’s innovation journey<br />

takes clients into the 21st century<br />

Dr Fayzel Omar, Nedbank Provincial General Manager of the <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Cape</strong>, is<br />

confident his PhD in <strong>Business</strong> Administration will empower him with the knowledge<br />

he requires to keep abreast of the latest developments in the banking industry.<br />

Banking cluster has 90 business managers<br />

located across the province who specialise in<br />

commercial industries and the agricultural sector.<br />

‘At Nedbank <strong>Business</strong> Banking we believe<br />

you need a financial partner that not only<br />

understands your circumstances and aspirations,<br />

but which also provides you with relevant<br />

solutions and a banking experience that is<br />

hassle-free. This allows you to concentrate on<br />

what’s most important to you – running your<br />

business,’ says Omar.<br />

Omar is passionate about his vision<br />

for <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Cape</strong> business owners<br />

and entrepreneurs who seek a unique<br />

banking experience, and he explains<br />

how Nedbank will support and grow<br />

businesses and retail clients in the<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>Cape</strong>.<br />

In view of the vast geography of the province<br />

his teams are spread across eight regions. Each<br />

region is led by a skilled regional manager, who<br />

is supported by teams and product specialists<br />

across the integrated business channels of<br />

business banking, small-business services and<br />

retail banking. Nedbank’s decentralised <strong>Business</strong><br />

Since 2012 Nedbank has launched several<br />

first-to-market innovations, such as the awardwinning<br />

Nedbank App Suite, the home loan<br />

online digital channel and Market Edge, as<br />

well as the branch of the future concept in<br />

communities locally and nationally. 'Working<br />

with communities is entrenched in our values<br />

through community development, skills<br />

development, education and job creation, as well<br />

as environmental conservation.<br />

'These play a vital role in building a sustainable<br />

economy and vibrant society. We believe our<br />

fast-growing presence in communities goes a<br />

long way in enabling greater financial inclusion<br />

while contributing towards economic growth,'<br />

says Omar.
