THE NEDBANK AFFINITY PROGRAMME

Offering support to a range of community and environmental causes, the Nedbank Affinity programme comprises the following four affinities:

The Nedbank Children’s Affinity – supports needy children in partnership with the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund.

The Nedbank Green Affinity – supports conservation and the environment through contributions to The Green Trust.

The Nedbank Sport Affinity – promotes sport development in partnership with The Sports Trust.

The Nedbank Arts Affinity – enhances and preserves South Africa’s cultural heritage through the Arts & Culture Trust.

Nedbank clients are given the opportunity to support the affinity of their choice by opening an affinity-linked savings account, credit card, or cheque account, or taking out short- term insurance with Nedbank.

Depending on the product chosen, Nedbank then donates a percentage of the client’s spend or a fixed amount per transaction to the affinity he or she supports.

These donations are not at the clients’ expense, but are made by way of Nedbank sacrificing a portion of its profit margin on the products concerned. The more a client uses his or her affinity products, the more Nedbank donates to the relevant affinity.
