It happens every year.

You get a reminder in the post about your license disc’s expiry date, and before you know it you find yourself either sitting with a massive fine or wasting time in the line at the traffic department.

Well, now you won’t have to do that no more – at least if you bank with FNB.

Launching their new Nav Car smart solution in an effort to expand the Nav tool launched for their banking app last year, the new platform allows “users to renew their licence disc by scanning the disc with their smartphone and paying for the renewal using in-app payments,” reports Business Tech.

How amazing? There’s more:

The licence disc is then delivered to the user’s door and the user is charged a handling and delivery fee of R199.

You can even renew a dependent’s licence on their behalf and have it delivered to them, which means mom will just have to learn how to handle a bit of new technology:

That’s it there – second row on the left.

Other features include helping users manage their vehicle-related payments, including on-the-go traffic fine notifications, vehicle finance management, and licence disc renewal notifications.

Casual.

Then there’s this:

Customers can also pay a monthly fee of R95 for the Nav Car On-road Protect bundle, which offers vehicle licence renewal for up to five licence discs with free delivery, fine discounts negotiated on the user’s behalf, bail assistance at roadblocks, and Road Accident Fund claim assistance.

Not bad FNB, time for other banks to step up to the plate.
