Whether you’re looking to stock up on essentials or get your Christmas shopping sorted early, and you want to avoid the frenzy of Black Friday weekend both online and in-store, but still save a lot of money in the process, shopping ahead of the main event is a smart move.

The bank has partnered with some of South Africa’s most loved brands and retailers to offer deep discounts to clients.

“It’s no secret that South Africans have endured financial pressure this year due to tough economic conditions like persistent inflation and high interest rates,” says Tumelo Ramugondo, Head of Credit Card at Standard Bank. “This means that consumers are hunting for deeper value and bigger bargains. We understand that clients are cautious about parting with their hard-earned money. This we believe is the right and responsible approach to take in the current environment.”

This year, South Africans will be spending their money wisely and taking advantage of deals that can accrue real savings. Many consumers will also opt to do so as easily and conveniently as possible, which might mean avoiding the shopping mall and nabbing great deals online.
