Financials edit
I have taken the liberty of removing the section entitled "Financials", because it is incomprehensible to the layperson—I'm not entirely sure that an expert could have made much sense of it. I think that such figures should either be properly explained or not included at all. Rje (talk) 23:49, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Wiki eds, please could you have a look at these suggested changes.
Nedbank’s history is a compendium of over a dozen entities that have merged into the group over the years. Collectively, Nedbank extends its timeline to 1831, which makes it the oldest collective financial institution in the country. This collective is comprised of and celebrates entities like The Board of Executors, Syfrets, the Permanent Mutual Building Society, The Cape of Good Hope Bank and Savings Society, Stellenbosch Districts Bank, Bank Boland Bank, UAL, the Natal Building Society, The General Estate and Orphan Chamber and of course, the Nederlandsche Bank en Credietvereeniging. Some of the lesser known merged entities include the Transvaalsche Bank en Handelsvereeniging, the Nederlandsche Overzee Bank and the South African Association for the Establishment and Settlement of Estates.
The first South African branch of the Nederlandsche Bank en Credietvereeniging was opened in Church Street, Pretoria in 1888. By 1897 the bank’s presence had grown exponentially and a larger building was built. The structure, designed by W. J. de Zwaan was completed in 1897 and still stands today, in use by the Tshwane Tourism Office and still known affectionately as "The Old Netherlands Bank. This sandstone masterpiece served as Nedbank’s headoffice until 1953 where the bank moved into their third and final Pretoria-based headoffice, designed by Norman Eaton – which is still operated out of today, on what is now known as Thabo Sehume Street.
From there, Nedbank moved its headoffices to Johannesburg, 81 Main Street in the 1960s and again to 100 Main Street 1987 until finally taking residence where they are today, at 135 Rivonia Road in the early 2000s. This very building was awarded South Africa’s first [Building Star Rating] in 2009.

Hi Wiki eds
I have been asked by Nedbank to please request the updating of the history section to be more factually accurate, as per below. I work for Corporate Image and we represent Nedbank in terms of Corporate Communications. I have previously assisted Absa with changes that were successfully implemented.

Nedbank’s history is a compendium of over a dozen entities that have merged into the group over the years. Collectively, Nedbank extends its timeline to 1831, which makes it the oldest collective financial institution in the country [1]. This collective is comprised of and celebrates entities like The Board of Executors, Syfrets[2], the Permanent Mutual Building Society, The Cape of Good Hope Bank and Savings Society, Stellenbosch Districts Bank, Bank Boland Bank, UAL, the Natal Building Society, The General Estate and Orphan Chamber and of course, the Nederlandsche Bank en Credietvereeniging.

The first South African branch of the Nederlandsche Bank en Credietvereeniging was opened in Church Street, Pretoria in 1888.

Edit/Update of first paragraph; History edit
Hi Wiki Eds, Please see tweaked copy of the first history paragraph, no changes to references. I have bolded the areas to be please be considered for correction on the page.
The bank was founded on 01 March 1888 in Amsterdam. In August of the same year, the bank opened an office in Church Street, Pretoria, South Africa as the Nederlandsche Bank en Credietvereeniging voor Zuid-Afrika ("Dutch Bank and Credit Union for South Africa"). In 1903, the company was renamed to Nederlandsche Bank voor Zuid-Afrika ("Dutch Bank for South Africa"). In 1906, the bank expanded and an office in London was opened. The bank split in 1951, renaming its South African counterpart as Nederlandse Bank vir Suid-Afrika/Netherlands Bank of South Africa (NBSA). In 1969, the number of South African shareholders increased significantly and the company became 100% South African-owned after the Bank Mees and Hope sold 20% of its shares. The South African counterpart was completely independent.. Syfrets SA and Boland Bank listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1969. In 1971, NBSA changed its name to Nedbank. Nedbank Group formed from the merger of Syfrets SA, Union Acceptances and Nedbank in 1973. In 1986, Old Mutual became the major shareholder (53%) of Nedbank until 2018 where the shares were unbundled in favour of Nedbank. TheArchivist92 (talk) 09:37, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
