Nedbank

Happy Heritage Day from Nedbank 💚 Just as previous generations left their mark on Nedbank's story, today's employees, clients and partners are helping write the next chapter. As we celebrate Heritage Day, we honour those who came before us and the legacy they left behind, while recognising that we are shaping a legacy of our own. After all, today's moments become tomorrow's heritage. #HeritageDay

This Heritage Day, we celebrate not only where we come from, but also where we are going. We honour the generations before us who laid the foundations while recognising that each of us has a role to play in shaping the legacy we leave behind.     Heritage is about more than looking back. It's about recognising what we have inherited, understanding what it means today, and deciding what we want to pass on to future generations.     Click to read more.

South Africa is filled with extraordinary destinations that many travellers never get to experience. Hidden valleys, mountain passes, remote wilderness areas, and spectacular landscapes reward those willing to venture a little further. Part of what makes these journeys so memorable is the experience of getting there. If your vehicle was built for exploration, it may be time to put it to the test.

Some of the most powerful journeys begin outside of our comfort zones. Whether it's turning a passion into profit, learning a new skill, or bringing a long-held idea to life, side hustles create opportunities for growth beyond the workday. Siphokazi Omoluwa's story is a reminder that personal growth fuels professional growth too. The confidence, creativity, and resilience built along the way don't just shape individual success but also strengthen the teams and communities around us. We're proud to celebrate people who dare to grow beyond their roles. Watch her story below. #TeamGreen #WeAreNedbank

You can’t play a new game the old way. That was the challenge from Vusi Thembekwayo, entrepreneur, investor and Managing Partner of MyGrowthFund Venture Partners, at the Nedbank Annual Payments Summit. Africa’s context is changing. A young and increasingly urban population, growing consumer markets and ambitious businesses are creating new opportunities for growth. But they are also attracting new competitors. Vusi challenged us to recognise when the context has shifted and to rethink the strategies and capabilities that worked in the past. As he put it, “Strategy takes time.” For payments, that means staying close to our clients, understanding how their needs are changing and continuing to evolve how we use technology, data and innovation to serve them. Because as the game changes, so must the way we play it. #NedbankGT #Payments #FinTech

“Nobody really runs a business on payments alone. So why would you solve for it alone?” That was the challenge from Matt Putman, co-founder and CEO of iKhokha, at the Nedbank Annual Payments Summit. iKhokha processes more than R20 billion in digital payments annually and, as Matt shared today, has provided around R3.5 billion in workinga as capital to SMEs. However, payments are only part of the picture. Small businesses also need access to finance, healthy cash flow, business insights and simple tools that help them grow. Bringing payments, banking and financial solutions together gives Nedbank and iKhokha an opportunity to build an ecosystem around the entrepreneur. Because when SMEs grow, the impact travels much further. #NedbankGT #Payments #FinTech

Rethink. Participate. Promote. Prepare. Pay it forward. Five asks from Arif Ismail, Head of the National Payment System Department at the South African Reserve Bank, as he returned to where his own payments journey began: Nedbank. His challenge at the Nedbank Annual Payments Summit was clear. Modernising South Africa’s payments ecosystem will take more than new technology. It requires collaboration across banks, fintechs and regulators, greater adoption of digital payments, investment in identity, interoperability and trust, and people with the capability to keep pushing the system forward. As Arif put it: “The most important innovation South Africa will ever produce is not technology. It’s people.” #NedbankGT #Payments #FinTech

Clients aren’t looking for another payments product. They’re looking for a better way to do business. That was a key takeaway from Marijke Guest, Nedbank Chief Technology Officer, and Jonathan Smit, CEO of iVeri and founder of PayFast, at the Nedbank Annual Payments Summit. As Jonathan put it: “What they’re interested in is a solution, not a product.” Getting closer to clients, listening to their feedback and simplifying integration are critical to building payment solutions around the problems businesses are trying to solve. #Nedbank #Payments #FinTech
