SOLUTIONS AIMED AT<br />
CREATING JOBS AND<br />
GROWING THE ECONOMY<br />
Nedbank’s Provincial General Manager for <strong>Gauteng</strong> West,<br />
Mawande Shugu, explains how Nedbank is committed to<br />
partnering with businesses and the youth for growth.<br />
‘<br />
Small businesses are the mainstay of<br />
the economy. Nedbank has, over the<br />
years, instituted various interventions<br />
aimed at giving support to the smallbusiness<br />
sector. Over and above our Small<br />
<strong>Business</strong> Services solutions, we provide<br />
small-business owners with support that<br />
goes beyond banking – freeing up their time<br />
to truly focus on running their businesses,’<br />
he says.<br />
Nedbank has built a solid reputation as a<br />
bank for small businesses through initiatives<br />
such as its free-to-join networking portal,<br />
SimplyBiz.co.za, The Essential Guide for<br />
Small-business Owners, business<br />
registration services and free smallbusiness<br />
seminars – all geared to support<br />
small- and medium-sized enterprises.<br />
Shugu is passionate about supporting<br />
South Africa’s youth. ‘I believe it is important<br />
for the business community to invest in our<br />
youth as they are our future. Investing in this<br />
market is crucial for the sustainability of any<br />
business and requires an extensive investment<br />
in agile technological development. At<br />
Nedbank we pride ourselves in developing<br />
products that provide lifestyle benefits and<br />
offerings that enable the financial<br />
‘<br />
I believe it is important for<br />
the business community to<br />
invest in our youth as they<br />
are our future …<br />
’<br />
aspirations of our youth market. For<br />
example, our Unlock.Me Account offers a<br />
zero monthly maintenance fee, with<br />
additional lifestyle benefits perfect for<br />
clients between the ages of 16 and 26,’<br />
he says.<br />
Shugu says that, through an evolving and<br />
agile digital strategy supported by the<br />
Nedbank Money app and the Nedbank<br />

clients by making essential banking services<br />
available 24 hours, seven days a week.<br />
