Banking with FNB? You could get a loaf of bread for 99 cents

Jane Dutton speaks to consumer journalist, Wendy Knowler.

Listen below.

With the price of just about everything increasing this month, FNB is offerings some of its customers a little reprieve. 

FNB announced that from July onwards, Easy PayU account holders would be able to purchase a loaf of brown bread from Shoprite for JUST 99 cents.

All you need to do is swipe your FNB Easy debit card.

 “If you have one of these accounts, you go into a Shoprite store and when you get to the till with your loaf of Brown bread, those are the ones that Shoprite’s instore bakeries make, you swipe your card and they generate a discount code.”

- Wendy Knowler, consumer journalist

Account holders are limited to four loaves per month, essentially one a week.

“The idea would be to get more people to open that account but these kinds of initiatives are great considering the realities of this country and how food insecure so many people are.”
