“We are transferring skills and technologies to Lesotho. By placing a minimal number of South African expatriates in the new operation we will accelerate this process,” said Richard Hudson, CEO of FNB Lesotho.

“We have chosen to start this new venture from a clean slate. FNB has set up an entirely new operation with a new customer base. Our philosophy is to attract high quality business and to develop sound relationships with our customers both in Lesotho and South Africa.

“Lesotho is a common monetary area (CMA) country – sharing a common monetary platform with South Africa, Swaziland and Namibia – and FNB will now operate in all CMA countries,” said Hudson.

The new operation will add capacity to the economy and will contribute to upgrading financial services in Lesotho.

“We have been able to rapidly transfer new technologies and infrastructure to establish the operation,” said Hudson.

FNB Lesotho will offer a full range of retail and corporate banking facilities. This will include an ATM network and internet banking.

FNB expects its Lesotho operation to be profitable within three years. FNB is a division of FirstRand Bank Ltd.
