• FNB and RMB Private Bank Business clients can now book hot desks and more at Workshop17 locations.
• Workshop17 co-working spaces are located throughout the Western Cape and Gauteng.
• Businesses can also earn up to 40 percent back in eBucks when booking space at Workshop17

The pandemic and subsequent lockdowns forced folks to vacate offices for months, potentially years. Many businesses took this opportunity to shrug off the cost of property and invest those funds elsewhere.

Sometimes, however, working in an office can have benefits and co-working spaces offer a great middle ground for businesses with a hybrid workforce that needs to meet only now and then.

This month, FNB added a new benefit to its eBucks programme that businesses may want to take advantage of. As of 1st August, eBucks can be used to book hot desks, day passes and meeting rooms at Workshop17. Businesses can also earn up to 40 percent back on their Workshop17 spend in eBucks.

Workshop17 offers on-site cafes, uninterrupted power, fast internet connectivity, tech support, secure parking and more. There are seven Workshop17 locations across Gauteng and the Western Cape.

You can find Workshop17 locations at:

• West Street, Sandton,
• Firestation, Rosebank,
• The Bank, Rosebank,
• V&A Waterfront, Watershed, Cape Town,
• Kloof Street, Cape Town,
• Newlands Cricket Ground, Cape Town,
• Tabakhuis, Paarl.

“Given the tough economic climate and evolving client needs, we have improved our eBucks programme to help our clients get more value. In addition to our new Workshop17 partnership we are also partnering with Lift Premium to enhance the travel experience of our business clients. Irrespective of their eBucks reward level, clients with a business account will receive a 25% discount when booking a flight with Lift Premium using eBucks Travel on the FNB or RMB Private Bank app and enjoy complimentary access to the luxurious SLOW domestic lounges on presentation of their boarding pass,” explains chief executive officer of eBucks Rewards, Johan Moolman.

Businesses can book a space at Workshop17 in person or online. Business owners are advised to complete a one-time member registration online.

We should point out that member pricing for Workshop17 starts at R2 180 per month and stretches up to R5 075 per month so using eBucks could help ease that pricing.
