I drove past a large board opposite Montecasino which just says 'Platinum' with a website. That's it.

So got to work and went to the website (www.platinumjhb.co.za) and it also only has 'Platinum' with a 'launching in' countdown.

What is it? A new club or something?

Nah, I was just fooling around.

I never gave ABSA permission to use my banking fees for such extravagant advertising campaigns :D

Could be anything, but I doubt its a club, maybe a Monte thing?
Anyone else see the billboard in other parts of GP?

ROFL @ the free hit counter at the bottom of the page! :p

Any self respecting web designer would rather die than have a hit counter :sick:

ABSA Private is R650k/pa... not sure why you have to pay more for Platinum banking... even FNB's platinum banking is about half that - and the service you'll get is WAY WAY better

On the service side indeed, Absa stinks! Where do you see the cost for Private Banking?

And how does it set you apart from other clients i.t.o benefits and/or services?

I have a costs sheet thingy...

With FNB's platinum banking - you get a dedicated banker who does everything you need done, no running around, etc. Also, with a lot of accounts, etc, you want to open, you don't need to provide 3-months bank statements, etc.

With ABSA Private Banking - they deliver cards, etc to you in person - no need to go stand in bank queue's, etc...

With both, you get better interest rates on loans, etc.... I think my cc interest is 16.5%... (before recent decrease)

With ABSA Private, its not really a status symbol, as the card is just plain black...

So I guess we're not talking about what the billboard means anymore?

The thing that I hate about Platinum cards is that it looks the same as silver. That sucks.
