Old Mutual Rewards is a financial rewards program that aims to reward people for saving, taking control of their finances, and working towards their financial goals. The program enables registered members to earn points for participating in certain activities. This means that with Old Mutual Rewards, people get rewarded with points for completing financial assessments and carrying out other financial tasks online and then use those points to spend on things they like.
Old Mutual initiated the Old Mutual Rewards program because the company believes that when good financial behavior is rewarded, it goes a long way to improve a nation’s savings culture and thus, in the long run, empower the citizens to be more financially stable. Also, the company initiated the program to help all South Africans to start making smart financial decisions that will change their lives for the better. The program is designed to promote good behaviors regarding how people spend money and how much they value it.

The Program Is Not Only For ‘Old Mutual’ Members
Take note that even though you have to register for the Old Mutual Rewards program to take part in its rewards, you do not have to be an Old Mutual member to enjoy the benefits. Old Mutual Rewards is the property of Old Mutual, a premium African financial services group with millions of customers around Africa. However, even if you are not a customer of the Old Mutual group, you can still take part in the Old Mutual Rewards program.
This is because the program has been made very open to the general public. One of the main goals of the rewards program is to ensure that the majority of people in South Africa are able to become more capable of taking care of the financial aspects of their lives. But, making the rewards program only available for Old Mutual members will limit its reach and defeat the purpose of making sure everyone gets financially mature. This is why the program has been made open to everyone.
So, even if you are not an Old Mutual customer, you can take part in this rewards program. Just register for it and you are good to go.
