We built a channel that helped Nedbank’s clients see money differently


How we helped South Africa’s green bank deliver on their awesome rewards programmes.

Intro


Nedbank serves over 8 million people across the continent and is well known for being an African bank with an ethos of giving value back to their clients. They needed a partner to help them bring their Greenbacks and AMEX rewards programmes to life.

The Challenge


Nedbank needed a solution that accelerated their speed to market and a partner who could give their clients instant access to a world of awesome technology products, as well as manage a rewards redemption ecommerce system and subsequent fulfilment process.

The Solution


The Digital Planet team kicked into gear and worked closely with Nedbank to build an ecommerce channel for their Greenbacks and AMEX membership rewards brands.

We developed and implemented an integrated process, from procurement to delivery, servicing, customer queries and warranty fulfilment. This, along with a strategic marketing effort, was instrumental in growing the channel.
