FNB<\/a> is changing the banking landscape with its migration from a traditional bank to a company which offers its clients discounted smart devices and connectivity with its banking services.<\/p>\n

Kartik Mistry<\/a>, head of FNB\u2019s Smart Devices unit, said that they are enhancing their clients\u2019 lifestyles with products and services which are in demand. This move proved to be very successful.<\/p>\n

Over the last two years, FNB has sold over 200,000 smart devices, with current sales exceeding 10,000 devices per month.<\/p>\n

Mistry said that FNB is seeing strong sales on Apple and Android devices, and expects strong demand for their Windows Phone devices following the launch of FNB\u2019s Windows Phone app.<\/p>\n

The top selling smartphone and tablet is currently the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab3 10.1 respectively, but this can change quickly.<\/p>\n

Mistry said that new high-end device launches typically translates into strong sales, which is expected for the new iPhone and iPad.<\/p>\n

He added that they are looking to provide their clients with a full suite of entertainment products.<\/p>\n

FNB is already offering discounted and free ADSL products, and is in discussions with the mobile operators about expanding its telecoms offerings.<\/p>\n

Mistry said that they are also working hard to provide an even better online shopping experience to their clients, which includes faster delivery times.<\/p>\n

He added that consumers can also continue to expect great, high-end products with aggressive prices from FNB.<\/p>\n
