First National Bank (FNB) Cellphone Banking is launching a new banking service via Facebook (view press release). The service will enable the bank’s customers to access certain banking services whilst on Facebook. To access banking through Facebook, customers need to link their Facebook profiles to their Cellphone Banking profile which will give them access to the ‘FNB Banking on Facebook’ application via Facebook. Once linked users will be able to check their balances, purchase prepaid products including airtime, SMS and Blackberry bundles, and view LOTTO and PowerBall results.
