ABSA is giving 10% back to home owners and costumers
With interest rates rising to an enormous 15% and gas prices
going to R10 per litre, we have now been thinking twice on
how we spend our money. At last there is one bank that is
in fact giving something back to their clients.
The minister of Housing, Dr Lindiwe Sisulu, recently challenged
Absa to assist Government and Eskom in addressing the energy
crisis that is facing South Africa. A week later, Absa home
loans responded by making available a variety of lending options
to enable consumers to purchase energy-saving products.
The South African government has recommended that consumers
attempt to save between 10 to 20% of their current energy
consumption as a way to assist in improving energy efficiency.
Absa costumers can are now able to buy a range of products
such as solar water-heating devices, power generators and
lightning solutions that can be reduce their overall consumption
bill by up to a third.
All these products can be purchased at a 10 to 15% discount
from all Absa approved service providers nation wide.
