First Rand Limited is the holding company – also known as the FirstRand Group – of the First Rand Bank. The group provides financial services to the South African market with extended roots in various African countries. FirstRand was proudly founded two decades ago, in 1998 and is listed on the JSE (Johannesburg Stock Excahnge) and the Namibia Stock Exchange. The group headquarters can be found in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The FirstRand group’s DNA actually stretches back as far as the 1970s, as an investment bank. Although the group, in its current form, was established in the late 90s, the company originated from a merger between the financial services interests between Anglo American
Corporation of South Africa Limited (currently known as Anglo American plc) and RMB Holdings (RMBH). The merger was in order to achieve a unified financial services grouping.

FirstRand deliver services and attain goals through its impressive portfolio of leading financial franchises. These franchises are: Rand Merchant Bank (RMB), their corporate investment bank; First National Bank (FNB), one of the members of the four biggest South African retail and commercial banks; WesBank an instalment finance provider; and Ashburton Investments, who act as the FirstRand group’s asset management business.

FirstRand’s undisputed success can be found by tracing back to their early days of smart business decisions and moves, which can even be traced back to the 70s, almost two decades before the bank’s current form even came into existence.

The group has enjoyed large success in South Africa, as well as in various other African countries, namely, Mauritius, Botswana, Ghana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, Nigeria. The FirstRand group also has international holdings in the United
Kingdom. This vast portfolio has seen the group’s reputation rise comprehensively.

FNB has increasingly become a South African favourite and powerhouse bank. The bank’s rise in popularity has seen an immensely positive rise in the fortunes of FirstRand Limited. FNB’s success can be seen clearly from FirstRand’s long term vision to be South Africa’s financial services pf choice, through the creation of long-term franchise value and by delivering superior and sustainable economic returns to the group’s shareholders. Through this intelligent and business savvy approach that FirstRand has invested into its financial franchises, the company has been able to pave a way to rich success.

The FirstRand group continues to deliver on shareholder expectations, by providing returns within acceptable levels of volatility. The group has enjoyed immense success in South Africa and neighbouring, as well as more extensive, African countries. The group has continued to strengthen existing markets, while aiming to become the leading South African financial services provider.

The group is specifically targeting markets that promise strong domestic growth with a promise of fruitful trade with Africa and Asia, with China and India being the most plausible to bring great investments. Increasing vocal interest from Asia in recent days, has confirmed that this approach is indeed an investable one.
