In the Namibian economy, companies require knowledge and insights to take their businesses to the next level.

Often referred to as the engine of a market economy, businesses not only enable the provision of goods and services, but also create much-needed employment opportunities in many different sectors.

On 1 June, Nedbank Namibia appointed Britt du Plessis as head of business banking.

“Partnering with the right bank, one that you can trust, can make a world of a difference to the ultimate success and achievement of your financial goals,” says Du Plessis.

She is a chartered accountant with an honours degree in taxation. She has occupied various senior roles in the banking sector, and went on to join Nedbank as a result of her love for banking. Equipped with a dedicated team of banking specialists and business banking solutions to offer, Du Plessis is armed and ready to provide businesses with an exceptional banking experience and ultimately take Nedbank’s business banking to the next level.

She requires no introduction to the banking sector, having vast prior experience; she understands the toils of the industry.

As a matter of fact, the very challenges of the sector are what drives Du Plessis to succeed.

She aims to transform business banking at Nedbank to ensure the bank continues to be a solid partner for businesses in Namibia, “with a strong partnership, you can build anything”.

A passionate banking professional and mother of two, Du Plessis is inspired by challenges.

“I love to run with something and make it successful.”

Under her leadership, she aims to bring about change as well as exceptional level of service excellence.

Working in a team brings her great joy, especially when she can live her passion.

“I am very passionate about everything I do,” says Du Plessis.

This is the driving force of her plans to optimise business banking at Nedbank.

Supporting the needs of Namibian businesses is what she is determined to do. Through her experience and fresh vision, Nedbank Namibia is geared to turn on a whole new dimension for businesses in Namibia. With the dynamic Du Plessis at the helm of the business banking ship, the bank can only expect great things to come.
