Yolande van Wyk is the CEO of eWallet solutions at First National Bank.
She joined FNB’s original cellphone banking team in 2004, helping the product to become the first to go mainstream in South Africa.
In 2008 Van Wyk took over eWallet solutions and set about getting non- banked customers to use the service. She succeeded. The service requires no registration and users don’t even need to hold a bank account to use it. To date, over one million people have received money on their cellphones with transactions worth R1.7-billion.
