The new banking hub operates as an extension of Bank Windhoek’s Katutura Branch and is designed to combine in-person assistance with self-service banking options. It aims to improve convenience and accessibility in one of Windhoek’s busiest residential areas, reflecting the bank’s strategy of delivering services closer to customers.
The facility allows customers to use self-service machines and cash-accepting ATMs, access statements, print bank confirmation letters and manage card services in a secure environment. It operates from 08:30 to 15:30, while self-service facilities remain available until 18:00.
Bank Windhoek Managing Director James Chapman said the opening marks another step in the bank’s efforts to expand accessible and innovative financial services across Namibia, adding that the institution remains committed to supporting communities with improved service delivery.
The President welcomed the initiative, commending Bank Windhoek for bringing services closer to the people. A customer at the hub, Hashikuti Victory, said the facility would save residents time and costs by reducing the need to travel long distances for banking services.
