Nedbank MVNO Ambitions Reach Beyond South Africa's Borders
Nedbank Connect is using South Africa as a testing ground for a possible expansion into the rest of Africa with its MVNO offering.
Nedbank Connect, the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) recently launched by Nedbank, is taking a slow and steady approach to entering the South African market. However, its ambitions are broader, with other African markets firmly in its sights.
“Strategically, we wanted to be technically enabled so that we don’t have to port systems or look for additional technology partners later on,”
said Eugene Liebenberg, head of digital products at Nedbank, in an interview with TechCentral. The bank's choices, including using MTN as its network partner and MVNX as a technology platform, are geared towards giving Nedbank Connect the flexibility to tailor its offering for new markets.
