What’s New at First Bank?

First Bank has rolled out several digital features this year. The mobile app now lets you freeze your card with one tap, set spending limits and get instant loan offers based on your transaction history. They also introduced a “Save‑More” account that rounds up every purchase to the nearest rand and puts the extra into a high‑interest savings pot.

On the branch side, First Bank opened three new locations in the Free State, including one right in Kroonstad. The new branches focus on self‑service kiosks, so you can handle routine tasks without waiting for a teller. They also host weekly financial‑literacy workshops that cover budgeting basics and how to use credit responsibly.

How First Bank Helps You

Whether you’re saving for a house or just need a reliable checking account, First Bank offers low‑fee options that fit different budgets. Their personal loans come with transparent interest rates and no hidden charges – you’ll see the exact monthly payment before you sign.

If you run a small business, First Bank’s “BizBoost” package gives you access to quick invoice financing and free business advisory sessions. Many customers say the one‑on‑one advice helped them grow sales by up to 15% in the first six months.

Customer service is another area they’re improving. The call center now operates 24/7, and chat support on the website routes you straight to a specialist who can resolve issues in under five minutes. Feedback loops let users rate their experience, and First Bank uses that data to train staff continuously.
