10 January 2019 – First National Bank (FNB) announced its partnership with The Entertainer, a lifestyle app that gives users access to two-for-one discounted offers at various restaurants, beauty salons, health & fitness facilities and hotels.

To take advantage of the deals, The Entertainer app users usually pay an annual fee of R495 per city. However, all FNB customers and RMB Private Banking customers can reap the benefits at no cost, giving them access to discounted offers across South Africa’s major cities - Durban, Cape Town, Johannesburg/Pretoria saving them a total of R1,485). And what makes the deal even more attractive is that customers can access and use The Entertainer app when traveling abroad to the UK, saving an additional R541.30 in subscription fees.

“At FNB we are always looking for ways to add value to our customers’ lives by making their money go further. We recognise the unstable economic conditions we live in, where our customers are forced to be frugal when it comes to leisure activities. This exciting partnership with The Entertainer allows our customers to enjoy doing the things they love doing whilst making the most of their budgets,” said Johan Moolman, eBucks Rewards CEO.

The Entertainer, which was founded in 2001 in Dubai, expanded its products to South African customers in 2013.

Jaegar Torrente, Head of Corporate Partnerships for The Entertainer in South Africa, said: "This partnership is an absolute game changer, not only for our business but for all FNB customers and RMB Private Banking clients who now have another way to save their hard-earned cash. We are very proud to partner with such innovative brands like FNB and RMB Private Bank".

To access and start using the App, you need to be an eBucks Rewards Member and have the latest version of the FNB app.

Customers can then follow these steps to register:

1. Log in to the FNB App on their smartphone
2. Select the Entertainer App icon under eBucks Rewards and follow the prompts to register.

RMB Private Banking clients should follow the same instructions through their RMB Private Banking app.
