Michael Jordaan teases Bank Zero progress

South Africa's banking industry is expected to see a major shake up this year, with a number of new rivals set to take on the 'big five'.

You know for an all digital company and pushing new tech...their website looks pretty damn amateur at present.

http://www.bankzero.co.za/

Does not inspire confidence.

Not sure what they're thinking...looks like someone in the 90's learning web design.
First impressions etc.

They haven't launched anything, that website is more than adequate.

Automated repsonse from the email on their site:

Hi

Thank you for your interest in Bank Zero Mutual Bank. We will no longer be processing email correspondence on this address as we undertake this very exciting journey. Our teams are throuroughly engaged in creating "the Google of banking". It demands all our attention. So please do NOT expect a response from us FOR NOW.

Thank you for your understanding. Till later.

Google of Banking?

Yeah ok, pull the other one..
90's holding page already doesn't instill great confidence, and then trying to market oneself as the Google of Banking just makes it even worse.

It looks bad and dated.

Yeah honestly don't know what the **** they are/were thinking.

Then rather have no website at all.

That page is not representative of a forward thinking digital business they claim they are.

I think that is the real problem...there is no actual marketing happening looking at that webpage.

If anything it tells people to stay the **** away.

The bank hasn't launched yet, what exactly do you expect them to market?

 

[backstreetboy]

I'm happy with Capitec and Easy equities thanks.

 

[stoymigo]

The site is more like an info page, nothing wrong with that.

Most products have marketing BEFORE they exist.

That’s kind of the point. To build hype and get people interested.

At the very least have a “let me know” system so you can at least gauge if anyone is actually interested.

Yes, that will come out in Q4 maybe Q3, when the bank is ready.

 

[Drifter]

Cost saving already with crappy web page.

Then they should have no website at all right now.

That website is only doing negative things to their image.

exactly.

Rather have an impressive "under-construction" page
