The group has moved into a new 815 metre square head office building in The Estuaries, a 35 000 square metre high profile office park being developed on Century Boulevard, the main thoroughfare of Century City, opposite Liberty Life’s new regional headquarters.

Vincent Osborne, regional manager of FNB Premier Banking Western Cape, said they had relocated all five FNB Premier Banking teams from various locations in the Western Cape - the CBD, Somerset West, Montague Gardens, Kenilworth and Tygerberg -  to the new regional office.

“In so doing we are creating a robust, centralized team housed within the heart of Cape Town’s Century City that will continue to service our client base using the benefits of synergy, scale and technology.”

Osborne said FNB Premier Banking’s decision to relocate was based on the rationale that Century City was the growth node within the greater Cape Town area and its central positioning would enable them to service 80% of their clients within a 20km radius.

FNB Premier Banking, he said, concentrated its services on the top end of the salaried client base.
 
“Many of our existing clients are employed within the greater Century City development and we are planning to both retain existing clients and aggressively grow market share using the new premises as our Cape Town suite which will house both sales and service specialists,” he said.

Osborne said the centralising of five teams into one would allow for more efficient management and quality output ensuring “a just do it” service offering to clients.

The lease on the building, which is held by an investor, was negotiated by Andrew Kendall of RMB Properties.
