Nedbank Business Banking has three offices in the Northern Cape – located in Kimberley, Upington and Hartswater – that offer a full range of financial and advisory services to businesses in the region with annual turnovers of up to R400 million.

With a national presence of 64 locations, Nedbank is able to combine its banking expertise with a deeper understanding of the local economy in which our clients operate.

Quick decisionmaking

'Our differentiated offering is underpinned by our decentralised business model, which allows for quick decisionmaking. Our client service team concept ensures clients have easy access to a dedicated banking team comprising a relationship manager and credit and service specialists,' says Arnold du Toit, Nedbank Business Banking’s Area Manager for the Northern Cape.

Industry-specific focus

‘While Nedbank Business Banking caters for the mid commercial market across all industries, our Northern Cape region has a specific focus on the public sector and agriculture. Our regional agri-specialist team provides guidance and support on all agriculture-related requests, and ensures continuity, accessibility and quicker decisionmaking. And, in addition to the basic range of banking and funding products, we are also in a position to offer financial planning to businesses through our in-house Financial Planner, who is part of our team.’ Solutions are tailored according to a detailed understanding of the client’s business and are not only unique, but also appropriate for each business.

Value-added services

'A unique example of this approach is Nedbank’s enterprise development offering, which assists enterprises that are 25% or more black-owned, with an annual turnover of up to R35-million. Some of the challenges we have found such businesses to be facing include a lack of capital or collateral and a lack of training and experience. At Nedbank Business Banking we offer both financial support – including startup capital – and non-financial support, such as arranging access to grants and free business training through workshops and seminars,' says du Toit.
