Nedbank finds ways to help you support worthy causes at no cost.
Through the Nedbank Affinity Programme, you can choose to support the arts, the preservation and conservation of the environment, sports development or to help orphaned and vulnerable children.
To join any Affinity, simply open a Nedbank Affinity-linked credit card, current, savings or investment account, or take out short-term insurance with Nedbank. You can then link your Nedbank Greenbacks to your Affinity of choice via the Money app.
Green Affinity
Over the past 29 years, over 200 environmental projects nationwide have benefited from our Nedbank Green Affinity programme and continue to do so. These range from the protection of endangered species to providing clean water and fighting climate change.
Nedbank helps you benefit your community by ensuring that your environment is clean and that there’s sustainable development around you. We take care of the quality of our air, water, and environmental needs. We also help farmers to use sustainable farming strategies that reduce potential damage to the environment while receiving beneficial results.
Art Affinity
Since its inception in 1994, Nedbank Arts Affinity account holders have helped donate more than R16 million to support the development of South African arts through the Arts & Culture Trust. The Nedbank Arts Affinity programme currently supports the ACT Professional Development Programme and the ACT Performing Arts Scholarships.
Children’s Affinity
The Nedbank Children's Affinity lets you support the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund (The Fund), at no cost to you. Since its inception in 2005, more than R82 million has been donated to The Fund.
You can also do good to support underprivileged, vulnerable and orphaned children in Southern Africa by simply doing your daily banking, investing and insuring with Nedbank.
Every time you use your Nedbank Children’s Affinity account, we will donate to the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund on your behalf, at no cost to you. The more you transact, the more we donate.
Sport Affinity
Nedbank Sport Affinity members have been helping us make a positive impact in the lives of talented sports men and women across South Africa from as early as 2005.
At present, this programme currently supports cycling, running, golf and soccer development projects.
