It also provides you with the support, guidance and financial assistance to make smart money decisions and help you navigate the challenges on the way.

From making your everyday banking easier to enjoying the advantages that come with the experience, here’s everything you need to know about your Standard Bank Professional Banking Account.

How it works and who can apply

A Professional Banking Account is an exclusive bank account for customers between the ages of 18 and 30 who’ve completed specific degreesin medicine, finance, law, engineering and aviation. It’s been designed with your needs as a young professional in mind so you can have a leg up to start living your dreams and create the future you want.

Giving you the flexibility to make big moves

Buying a car or making investments is always a big step, but if you’re just starting out, it helps to have the tools and assistance in place to make the right decision. That’s why your account gives you access to competitive rates and special terms on savings and cash investments, up to prime less 0.25% on your credit card and up to prime less 1% on car financing.

Advice that meets you where you are

Working your way to the top keeps you busy, which is why your account comes with anytime access to your own personal banker and Private Banking team that understand your financial needs and help you meet them. Embrace the convenience of having your needs taken care of by simply picking up the phone and contacting your banker or getting in touch via Facebook Messenger or WeChat.

Along the way, you’ll acquire more assets, grow your family or become responsible for others, which will impact your financial future and how you plan for your goals. That’s why you also have access to a team of experts that will help you with trusts, estate planning and insurance.

Helping you start your investment journey
