Nedbank has always been highly involved in the wellbeing of communities and the environment, and our commitment to Make Things Happen is a responsibility that is firmly entrenched in our brand ethos. In fact, over the years we’ve become known as the “green” and “caring” bank.

To help create a brighter future for all, Nedbank is repurposing decommissioned ATMs into works of wonder that will make a substantial difference in communities across South Africa. And so we are calling on Design Indaba delegates to share their ideas on what these ATMs can become…

Image a mobile health hub. A place where community members can do a basic health check, take their blood pressure or even call a doctor, if need be. Or a mobile library, where school children can download or print much needed textbooks. All this can be done by utilising parts and components of unused, decommissioned Nedbank ATMs. It’s the kind of innovation that starts with a simple idea, that combined with programming, front-end design and graphic design, can ultimately make a huge difference to the lives of the millions of people it touches.

Leading by example, Nedbank will host a Wonderthon activation at Design Indaba 2016, where a team of programmers, coders and designers will transform a decommissioned ATM into a repurposed solution to a problem that impacts thousands of South Africans every year. Design Indaba delegates will be able to visit the Nedbank Wonderthon and interact with the Wonderthon team on the first floor of the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town from 15 to 17 February 2016.

Then, to open delegates’ eyes to the myriad of possibilities of re-creating and repurposing, the Design Indaba delegate (or simulcast delegate) who submits the winning idea for repurposing a decommissioned Nedbank ATM, will win an all expenses paid 2-week work experience at Google Creative Lab*.

Sometimes, it is the smallest idea that can make a massive difference in someone’s life.

Make things happen. Nedbank.
