Who we are

 Our vision statement implies that:

• We will continue to build our franchise in Namibia, while expanding into the rest of Africa. Our strategic focus areas provide more insight into our progress and outlook;
• We want to be admired by our stakeholders. Without passionate and motivated staff members we will not be able to attract and retain the clients that are critical to the delivery of sustainable profits for our shareholders. As a bank we operate in a regulated environment and we aim to be admired by our regulators. Lastly, as a bank we can play a major part in our communities and, as the green bank, we are a strong advocate and influencer on environmental matters; and
• Our vision is supported by our Deep Green aspirations. These are: to be a great place to work; a great place to bank; a great place to invest; world class at managing risk and to be a green and caring bank.

Helping to build Namibia

Our policy as a responsible corporate citizen is aligned with the definition of sustainable development by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development - development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Our approach is characterised by sharing expertise, as opposed to simply dispensing funds. By involving our own people in different ways, we demonstrate our commitment but, more importantly, develop the passion that underpins the project and builds real partnerships.

By forming partnerships, we learn more from every project, from every facilitating organisation we deal with. We learn from successes as much as we learn from failures. These lessons drive constant refinements to our criteria for support. These refinements, in turn, raise the probability of success and ensure that we reach our goal of building capacity.

We avoid cheque book philanthropy to ensure sponsorship alliances that will ultimately benefit the country at large. At Nedbank Namibia we focus on each party by activating all resources to leverage the optimum benefits from the alliance. The reality is that one needs to harness energy, money and collective knowledge to achieve desired results.

Personal Banking

In our commitment to becoming the country’s number one choice in banking, we focus on taking banking services closer to our customers, making banking accessible and convenient, and consistently offering value for money through innovative products and superior service. Our customers enjoy the individual attention of a relationship manager or personal banker for all their banking requirements.

Corporate and Investment Banking

We are building on decades of expertise and experience in corporate and commercial banking. Our customers benefit from the personal attention of a relationship manager as a single point of contact for all their banking requirements. Specialised corporate teams are concentrated in Windhoek and Walvis Bay, offering a national service to large, medium and small enterprises. We focus on developing business solutions for our clients, drawing on specialist skills available in our bank and throughout the wider Nedbank group.

International Banking

A strong network of foreign correspondent banks, skilled teams and a proven reputation as a leading provider of international banking services have attracted the business of some of Namibia’s leading corporations and state owned enterprises. A comprehensive range of services and particular proficiency in euro-related trade sets us apart.

Micro Lending

With Nedloans firmly established as one of the leaders in offering micro loans to people in formal employment, our role as a key player in the micro lending industry continues to go from strength to strength.
