Challenges
Bank Windhoek’s Head of Specialist Finance, Saara Shivute, highlighted the challenges businesses experienced over the last few years. She pointed out that the economic downturn, which lasted two years and the onset of Covid-19, affected sales in the motoring industry. “More specifically, the decrease in sales year-on-year globally is said to have reached 14.8% in 2020,” said Shivute. “In Namibia, IJG Namibia reported that new vehicle sales declined by 12.2% year-on-year at the end of September 2021, while on a 12-month cumulative basis, vehicle sales are shown to have grown by 11.8%.”
Nel said that the year was challenging, and the industry had problems, especially in stock. “Luckily, Bank Windhoek helped us with the specials they had, such as the 72 months repayment period. The Bank is very dependable, quick, and has a young and vibrant team who are ready to assist our customers and us," said Nel. De Wee also echoed Nel’s sentiments and said that Bank Windhoek's customer service and professionalism in the industry are of the highest quality.
Shivute concluded that through a powerful vision and much grit, the recipients came through for themselves, their organisations, and customers. "We are proud to have been a conduit for the sales that you have concluded this past year, congratulations," she said.
Meanwhile, Bank Windhoek is currently running its annual national Vehicle and Asset Finance (VAF) marketing campaign, themed ‘Find the one’. The VAF marketing campaign offers customers the best deals to finance their new or used vehicles country-wide. Some of the campaign's benefits provide customers with an extended repayment term of up to 72 months for all new cars and a 90-day vacation payment option. The VAF campaign will end on Thursday, 31 March 2022.
