South Africa’s Capitec Bank is the only African brand to crack the list
of “Great Brands of Tomorrow”, issued by the renowned Swiss-based
financial services group Credit Suisse.
The Stellenbosch-based bank, which celebrates its ninth anniversary in
March 2010, eclipsed its more established – and far bigger – rivals to
score a mention as one of the Zurich-based Swiss bank’s up-and-coming
brands of the future.
Capitec was in illustrious company – there were 26 other brands
nominated, among them Facebook, Apple, Polo, Swatch, Hyundai, Mahindra,
and Amazon.com.
