Today, Pick n Pay stands as the second largest supermarket chain store in the country with an extended business footprint in other nations around Southern Africa such as Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Namibia,Mauritius etc. With such an extensive retail network and huge clientele, it’s not surprising then that Pick n Pay ventured into the provision of financial services. One of the thriving products coming out of financial services are the RSA Retail Savings Bonds.
