A New Movement Unveiled: Paying it forward: Standard Bank launches Achieva Exchange to empower first-timers
Johannesburg, 26 January 2024 – Standard Bank is proudly introducing AchievaTM Exchange, a transformative movement poised to redefine the way we celebrate personal milestones. Unlike any other market event, AchievaTM Exchange invites everyone to be part of something bigger, to repurpose their significant moments into tangible support for others. Set to take place on Saturday, 02 March 2024 at Soweto’s Maponya Mall, AchievaTM Exchange is a dynamic event where personal achievements open doors for others, echoing the spirit of community and shared progress.
First Job, First Needs
Under the theme “First Job,” AchievaTM Exchange calls for contributions that fulfil the essential needs of individuals embarking on their first job journey. All items – be it clothing, devices or stationery to a laptop bag, or notepad – are welcome, provided they are clean, presentable, and functional. Drop-off points have been made available at the below Standard Bank branches, but items will also be accepted on the AchievaTM Exchange market day.
