After false start with Shoprite, FNB’s 99c bread offer is back on - now with a rival

But the bank later said there had been "operational delays".

On Monday, it announced that the 99c bread offer is back on, this time with Pick n Pay.

In late May, FNB announced that from July, its entry level Easy PAYU customers would be able to buy up to four of Shoprite’s store-baked brown loaves for a heavily subsidised 99c each, when swiping their bank card at the tills.

But in July the bank said that there had been "operational delays" and that as an "interim solution", qualifying customers would be issued R15 vouchers – up to four times a month – enabling them to buy branded, packaged loaves.
