In a move aimed at enhancing digital connectivity and convenience for customers, First National Bank (FNB) Zambia and Liquid Intelligent Technologies have officially announced their strategic partnership. This collaboration promises to offer affordable and reliable data services to users, ultimately driving the adoption of digital banking and online platforms across Zambia.
Effective immediately, customers utilizing FNB debit cards to purchase LTE data bundles on the Liquid Home Online portal will enjoy an automatic 5% discount. This reduction in data costs represents a significant step toward improving data accessibility and affordability for consumers.
Chanda Busuma, Acting Head of Retail Banking at FNB Zambia, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “With the increase in mobile and internet penetration in Zambia, we are pleased to partner with like-minded organizations like Liquid Intelligent Technologies that are driving affordable access to data, which will translate into increased use of digital banking and online platforms with ease. As an innovative digital and lifestyle services provider, our focus at FNB is to offer helpful, easy, and safe platforms for customers to transact on.”
The collaboration aligns with FNB Zambia’s strategic intent to enhance customer value and convenience through its Alliance Partnership business model, which emphasizes collaboration to provide tangible savings and discounts on various products and services when customers use the bank’s secure payment platforms.
Tendai Chasimpha, Head of Retail at Liquid Intelligent Technologies, emphasized their commitment to advancing the use of Digital Financial Services in Zambia, stating, “In May 2023, we at Liquid made the move to scale up the use of Digital Financial Services in line with the Bank of Zambia’s ‘Go Cashless’ Campaign, a collaborative framework meant to promote a coordinated approach.”
She further added, “This is the start of an exciting partnership between two giants that are driving digital tools. Our mutual customers will benefit from a deliberate focus to offer affordable and convenient LTE bundles. We are proud to report that all Liquid Home touch points exclusively use cashless payment methods, and we encourage our customers to use digital platforms such as our MyLiquid App or web portal. We are, after all, Africa’s Digital Future.”
FNB Zambia and Liquid Intelligent Technologies are fully committed to advancing digitization and convenience throughout Zambia. This partnership not only makes digital access more affordable but also supports the “Go Cashless” initiative promoted by the Bank of Zambia, promoting a coordinated approach to digital finance in the country.
