Stanbic Bank has announced the launch of one of what it says is the largest banking loyalty programmes in Zimbabwe. The PlusRewards programme, which will be launched today (1 December 2021) is aimed at supporting and enabling economic growth by providing Stanbic Bank merchants with a loyalty mechanism to drive customer engagement and ultimately additional sales.

Stanbic Bank Head, Client Solutions, Tich Zuze said Standard Bank and Stanbic Bank cardholders from across the continent who travel to Zimbabwe can benefit from the programme.

“This programme is meant for any Standard Bank and Stanbic Bank card holder across the continent. As the programme is also currently available in Tanzania, Zambia, Nigeria local Stanbic Bank card holders can benefit from the offers in these countries,”

Tich Zuze went on to say that most local businesses have suffered through Covid-19 associated lockdowns. The PlusRewards programme is Stanbic’s way to attract customers in the form of Stanbic Bank cardholders to boost merchant sales. At the same time, cardholders stand to benefit from the programme-related offers, discounts and other benefits.

The Covid-19 pandemic has placed a significant strain on a host of industries and businesses across various sectors of the economy. This includes the many businesses who suffered from the travel restrictions imposed globally and have not been able to benefit from tourism as an income source. The rollout of the PlusRewards programme is Stanbic Bank’s way of providing alternative support to impacted businesses and help them grow.
