Through the service, Barclays clients will get a discount every time they swipe at the selected merchants.
The 14 merchants include; Lengau Wines, Young Chefs Academy, Rodizio, Décor Waves, Cell City, Urban Soul, Rhapsody’s, Samsung, Linga Longa, Avis, Thorn Tree, Diggyos, Saffron and all the Cresta Hotels in Botswana and Zambia.
According to the bank’s director of consumer banking, Brighton Banda the launch signifies their commitment to their customers in which they promise that Barclays Discounts and Offers programme will give their customers exclusive benefits that will save money whenever they do their purchases at their partners’ stores. He noted that discounts are going to vary with each merchant as they have different offers.
In addition, he noted that there was no criterion that was used to select the 14 merchants as they just approached different merchants and the above ones agreed to come on board. “Our customers will be enjoying up to 20% discount from a variety of our merchant partners. A 7.5 percent off for our recently launched ignition youth account at Urban Soul, 10% off accommodation all around Botswana and Zambia Cresta Hotels and food at Saffron,” he said.
According to Banda, they have approached some of these shops for the convenience of their clientele.
“We have realised that our clients have got different shopping choices, hence the reason why we will be approaching more different merchants to cater for all of our clientele. Our customers expect more innovative products and service offerings hence the reason why we came up with this product,” Banda added.
