Next time you`re at a taxi rank you might find a mock ATM with a team from
Absa showing people how it works.
This project, part of a plan to take banking to lower income households, is
designed to show people how to get the best out of their bank accounts,
Pamela Segakweng, of Absa, says.
"We`ve chosen to meet the people where they are. We`ll demonstrate, step by
step, how to withdraw cash, make deposits and get mini-statements. Educators
will also be on hand to give advice about basic banking services in general.
"Although we understand that some people would prefer to go into a branch to
do these transactions, we`d like to show them the option of 24-hour banking,
which can be a lot more convenient," Segakweng says.
