Get Rewarded for banking with Standard Bank Mobile

Most South Africans experience the internet through their mobile phones. Whether it be through Facebook, Google or WhatsApp, once they have had access to the net and the possibilities it presents, it becomes an important part of their lives. However, an estimated third of South African smartphone owners can’t afford the data to use the internet or update the software on their phones.

Standard Bank Mobile is an exclusive offering which is only available to Standard Bank customers. You must have a qualifying Standard Bank transactional cheque account or credit card. “Standard Bank Mobile focuses on being more than just about phones, we focus more on offering reliable and affordable connection,” explains Stephen Bailey, Head of Mobile Virtual Network Operation at Standard Bank.

“We are seeing an incredible uptake of smartphone users, but don’t see the same level of uptake of internet access. This is because people who are buying smartphone devices generally struggle to afford data to keep their phones up to date, let alone use the internet as they please, and this is where Standard Bank Mobile comes to play,” says Bailey.

Mobile phones have changed the way we live and work. No matter the location, whatever the time, we have grown accustomed to constant available contact and with Standard Bank Mobile, your money goes the extra mile to keep you connected to your dreams.
