NEDBANK Namibia on Friday launched its new private banking offering to specifically cater to young professionals.
The launch gave a diverse panel of young Namibian professionals an opportunity to speak about their professions and ‘side hustles’, and how they aspire to reach greater heights as well as the challenges they face in the wake of the global pandemic.
The product is part of Nedbank’s efforts to foster inclusivity into its operations to improve and expand opportunities for young professionals.
The bank’s head of private banking, Liezl Brockerhoff, said: “We would like to be a part of the Namibian young professionals’ journey by making their aspirations to financial prosperity a smooth-sailing experience and assisting them early in their careers with understanding how they can manage their financial resources.”
A University of Namibia industrial psychology and political science graduate Kake Kashe, who was part of the panel, said his love for well-designed spaces led him to start a business in the property renovation industry.
Also on the panel was Namibia Nature Foundation environmental communication officer Disney Andreas, who is also the co-founder of local brands, Dololo and Monochrome magazine, and the host of fashion event the ‘Swap My Look’ closet exchange.
Social entrepreneur Bernhard Walther, who is also the co-founder of Ebikes4Africa – a start-up that focuses on mobilising through sustainable transport – also spoke at the event.
