Story 1
TransUnion has unveiled Africa’s first-ever peelable billboard, as part of its powerful new campaign, ‘Be the Reason Things Change’.
The striking, interactive installation removes symbolic barriers to financial inclusion for millions of South Africans.
Located at Melrose Arch by the entrance from Corlett Drive the billboard invites members of the public to peel away layers representing fear, misinformation, and exclusion.
Each of the 500-peeled strips reveals a QR code unlocking a free e-learning credit education course valued at 2-thousand-rand each.
For those who missed the launch, a digital version of the billboard will go live next week Tuesday, allowing another 4-thousand-500 South Africans to take part virtually.
