First National Bank has come out with a telecommunications deal for its customers.
MTN muscled in on the banking space several years ago, but today FNB has moved into the tele-communications space and is hoping that its offering will be more successful than MTN's attempts at banking.

FNB is not the first bank to offer customers telecom services, but FNB chief executive Michael Jordaan believes FNB Connect will be more successful than Absa's free internet service, which it ultimately had to sell to Vox telecoms to salvage. Jordaan says the model has been priced to provide savings while ensuring long-term sustainability. Although only offered as a value-added service for customers, Jordaan did not rule out rolling the product out to a broader client base.

In essence, by downloading FNB Connect software, you can make calls from your computer, cellphone and landline at reduced fees. But the cherry on top is the ability to make free phone calls, even overseas.
