South Africa’s lowest-cost bank is not in actuality a bank. Shoprite Group plans to expand its Money Market Account to resemble the transactional accounts of regular banks.
Previously account holders could only add funds to their accounts in-store but with the service update they will be able to make electronic funds transfers into their accounts.
“Our goal is to become South Africa’s largest low-cost transaction banking account,”
Jean Olivier – General Manager of Financial Services Shoprite
The only fees charged to account holders is a withdrawal fee of R 5 with all other transactions being free.
The Shoprite Group is also moving towards having more branches and call-centres as traditional banks are reducing these in favour of digital banking.
