First National Bank (FNB) has undertaken a brand redesign that has seen it revamp its iconic acacia tree logo and overhaul its mobile banking app.

The bank also introduced Money Protect — a free insurance cover for fraud-related losses while using FNB interfaces like its app and ATMs — which it said was an industry first. FNB said similar improvements are being made to its Internet banking platform. FNB said the redesign has made its app easier to use while providing a safer digital experience.

First National Bank's redesigned logo has confused many. Some feel the bank should have prioritised customer experiences and considered reducing fees first.

A recent survey has revealed that a huge portion of South African citizens are using more than [half of their monthly salaries](https://briefly.co.za/business-economy/money/132950-survey-reveals-large-majority-mzansi-citizens-spending-30-salary-debt/) to cover debt repayments. is the 4 times in the last 15 years ("Simpler, Better, faster" to "It Can Be")" Customers will also be allowed to see a snapshot see of "their transactional accounts, credit investments, insurance and value-added services". explain it all @FNBSA" Like many other banks, they should try to focus on getting basics right. The digital banking platform will also gain new payment features.

FNB has seen surprisingly few major logo overhauls - but most have courted at least some controversy among at least some South Africans.

At the time, FNB denied deliberately inserting any subversive symbols, even that of the African map, into its acacia tree branches. The intention at the time, he says, was to symbolise an African landscape and a new dawn, and it ran alongside a slogan reading "Symbol of life, strength, hope". Although high-resolution copies of the original logo are unsurprisingly hard to come by (and FNB could not immediately provide one on Friday), given the controversy, the supposed symbols were still somewhat visible in logos until 2000. According to internal branding documents, FNB pointed out an African continent outline among its acacia branches. But it only became First National Bank, and adopted its first acacia tree logo, when the United Kingdom's Barclays Bank disinvested in 1987. South Africa's First National Bank (FNB) has released its most significant logo change in 35 years, and it is being mocked.
