You can bank on a deal like this!
It's fun fact time again! If you know more than one language, (and hopefully you do, this being South Africa and all), you will know that some languages have very similar words for the same thing. Take the Xhosa word for socks: 'iikawusi'. It's actually borrowed from the Afrikaans 'kouse'. Afrikaans, on the other hand, got its word for banana, 'piesang', from the Malay word, 'pisang'. For years, all languages have borrowed and learnt from one another.
One word that is very similar across most South African languages is 'bank'. In Xhosa it's 'ibhanki ', in Zulu it's 'ibhange', and in both Afrikaans and English it's 'bank'. Of course, the bank we have a deal on today has nothing to do with where you keep your money, but rather where you should spend it: a power bank from SUPERVOLT.
