Banks provide financing options for various projects and initiatives, and in partnering with ABSA Bank Limited, the North-West University (NWU) can enhance the process of dealing with financing matters for the staff and students.

On Monday, 26 February delegates from ABSA met with dignitaries from the NWU at the Potchefstroom Campus to explore various areas of collaboration. The representatives from the NWU gave an overview of the departments of Marketing and Student Recruitment, Student Finances, the NWU Business School, Development and Fundraising, Career Services, as well as Student Life.

In collaborating with the NWU, ABSA pledges to develop student entrepreneurs in their supply chain deals. This will be done through their enterprise development division, which enables small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to deliver products or services to corporate entities. In this case, the NWU, being a corporate entity, will deliver the products/services to the student entrepreneurs.

Further constructive discussions about financial solutions and financial education were held and will result in numerous joint ventures between the two parties in the near future.

NWU and ABSA - towards achieving collective success and impact.
