Nedbank is a financial institution with a history that can be traced to as far back as 1831. It was formerly known as Cape of Good Hope Bank and after several rebranding and remodeling, the name was finally changed to Nedbank Group in 2003. Today, Nedbank Group has grown to have up to 74 million clients and 626 clients across Africa. Nedbank has been able to achieve this growth and more as a result of their consistent improvement in customer service.
One of the ways Nedbank has improved its customer service is by providing several methods to make transfers from their Nedbank account to Capitec Bank, FNB, or other banks in South Africa. In a bid to provide top-notch service to their digitally active 2.3 million clients, they have provided ways of making transfers using digital means and for those who may not be comfortable with a digital transfer, the old method of visiting a bank branch is also available.
