Festo South Africa Returns to Nedbank

Dear Valued Customer, We wish to inform you that, effective 1 July 2025, Festo South Africa will be returning to Nedbank Limited as our primary banking partner. Consequently, our banking relationship with HSBC locally will cease to exist as of 1 September 2025.

This decision comes as HSBC has made the strategic choice to close down its operations in South Africa. While this development is beyond our control, we have carefully evaluated the options and determined that returning to Nedbank best supports our commitment to providing you with reliable and efficient service.

Please update your records and systems to reflect our Nedbank banking details from 1st July 2025 onwards. This update is essential to ensure that all payments and transactions are processed seamlessly and without delay.

Our longstanding partnership with Nedbank offers us the stability, local expertise, and service quality that align with our operational needs and customer expectations. By reverting to Nedbank, we aim to maintain seamless financial transactions and continue delivering the high level of service you expect from Festo.
