Standard Bank Connect is making it easier than ever for customers to get their hands on all the latest expensive tech devices.

Whether you’re after an Apple, Samsung, Vivo, Huawei, Lenovo, or HP device, the bank’s mobile network (now branded as Standard Bank Connect) offers clients several financing options to make tech more appealing and accessible.

Clients can pay for these fancy devices over 12, 24, or 36 months. The bank offers to finance either the full amount or let you pay a deposit and then pay off the balance over time.

Now Connecting People Via MTN

In 2024, Standard Bank Mobile rebranded to Standard Bank Connect and switched from using Cell C’s network to partnering with MTN.

Unlike traditional deals from some of the other big banks that force you to bundle a SIM with your device, Standard Bank Connect only requires you to have an active SIM to qualify. Don’t worry, they will probably try entice you to join their network later.

Customers can also get up to 50% off on a lot of tech accessories since they know you will probably want some of those as well. Though the discount on the prices applies, there is, of course, the cost of financing the payments over time to think about.

VAS & Debt Review

Several big credit providers offer clients discounts on mobile devices as a value added service bundled into their banking services.

These can come into play if and when a consumer hits financial difficulty and contemplate entering debt review.

Debt Counsellors should take these products and any value added services into consideration when planning out a new restructured debt repayment plans for consumers.
