Celliers further emphasized the importance of reliable connectivity, highlighting the plans to introduce more tailored and affordable services for individual and business customers. This includes Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for businesses to enhance efficiency and productivity. Additionally, FNB plans to offer fiber, 5G, and LTE services to provide faster internet speeds and reliable connectivity for residential and commercial users.
MTN South Africa CEO, Charles Molapisi said, “The partnership is part of our broader efforts to support MVNOs and other institutions that recognize the value of connectivity and internet services for their customers. This partnership marks a significant milestone for both FNB and MTN, which have been instrumental in innovation in the South African market, and is a further endorsement for MTN as the network of networks. By combining our strengths, we are poised to create a truly exceptional network experience for FNB Connect users while also enabling access to a broader range of ICT services, beyond just connectivity, for FNB customers. We look forward to the positive impact this collaboration will have on the South African telecommunications and financial services landscape.
