FNB and Visa have renewed their long-standing partnership, extending a relationship that spans more than five decades, in a move designed to deepen collaboration in digital payments innovation and financial inclusion across South Africa and the African continent.
The renewed agreement builds on a relationship that began in 1966, reinforcing both institutions shared commitment to expanding access to secure, convenient, and inclusive financial services. The partnership will continue to focus on advancing digital payment ecosystems, strengthening payment security, and enabling solutions that support small businesses and underserved communities.
Over the years, the alliance between FNB and Visa has underpinned several key innovations in Africa's financial services sector - including the rollout of digital wallets, instant payments, contactless tolling, and enhanced transaction security. These initiatives have helped drive the transition toward cashless economies and improved access to modern financial tools across diverse markets.
