Absa promotes its digital banking ahead of Christmas festivities

As part of efforts to promote digital and smart banking, Absa Bank Ghana, in collaboration with its Brand Ambassador, M.anifest, has unveiled a music video ahead of the Christmas festivities to demonstrate how customers can bank conveniently during the busy season.

Christened “Simple & Easy”, the campaign is designed to encourage customers to use Absa’s digital platforms and card services to bank smart since it is faster, safer and easy to use.

A release issued in Accra by the bank on Wednesday said: “The music video depicts a day in the life of a customer and the various transactions or banking activities that can be conveniently accomplished using Absa’s digital banking platforms. It showcases the Absa Vertical Card with contactless technology, rolled out earlier this year, which enables customers to make payments more conveniently just by a tap on payment terminals.”
