FNB's Free eBucks Recognizes As Global Leader For Best Use of Tech

At the 2022 International Loyalty Awards, the Free eBucks Rewards program of FNB was named the global leader for the best use of technology and the Middle East and Africa Regional Loyalty Champion of the Year.

The awards recognise businesses that go above and beyond expectations in terms of excellence and innovation. Regional awards are also given to brands that have the most innovative and engaging loyalty programmes in their industry.

“eBucks Rewards was founded over 20 years ago to facilitate eCommerce and shape consumer financial behaviour through partnerships with customers and partner retailers,” says Jacques Celliers, CEO of FNB.

“In many ways, eBucks was an innovative currency in that it allowed customers to use their eBucks to pay for goods and services digitally. “Today, eBucks is South Africa’s most aspirational platform-based rewards programme, with a focus on providing real and meaningful value to members and partners.”

“Since its inception, eBucks has paid out billions in rewards to customers and has an industry-leading earn-to-spend ratio, with most customers using their eBucks within days.” Celliers states that FNB is committed to keeping free eBucks Rewards as the most rewarding multi-partner program in South Africa.

“In the current economic environment, millions of South Africans continue to rely on the program to alleviate financial constraints. Customers use the programme to supplement the high cost of fuel and food, travel expenses, and daily essentials like airtime and data.”

“Since we continue enabling more customers to earn eBucks, the benefits go a long way toward helping families stretch their budgets. As part of our platform journey, we’ve also enabled customers to manage their rewards on our digital platform through interfaces such as the FNB App,” he says.

“The accolades we’ve received for our eBucks programme throughout the years are a constant reminder of its value and impact on our customers and their families.”

“More importantly, these accolades are a tribute to our partners, who continue to support our efforts, and our customers, who make the programme as engaging and meaningful as possible to make today and tomorrow better. We look forward to continuing to delight our customers with value-added solutions tailored to their specific needs,” concludes Celliers.
