Does your bank help businesses reach new frontiers? HI-TEC Sports has come a long way since founder Frank van Wezel had a vision for developing an innovative lightweight squash shoe back in 1974. Today, it is a global brand with a footprint in more than 85 countries. It was key for them to form a partnership with FNB Business, an innovative bank built by entrepreneurs much like HI-TEC, because we’re committed to building a relationship that is based on understanding their business entirely. That’s why we structured unique financial solutions to enable their business to grow in South Africa, including a Business Global Account that helps to mitigate and eliminate exchange rate risks. Our partnership has ultimately ensured that we continue to provide the right solutions that enable a global brand like HI-TEC to grow locally. See, it takes a bank that does more to help start, run and grow your business. So who’s helping yours?
