South Africa is making it easier for people to get smart IDs and passports by working with banks. Right now, 30 branches offer these services, and soon, 34 more will join in, making it even more accessible for everyone. This effort not only provides convenience but also ensures that services reach people in both cities and smaller towns. With banks like FNB and Absa leading the way, South Africa is embracing new technology to create a faster and friendlier experience for all its citizens.
