ACCOUNTING POLICIES*
Nedbank is a company domiciled in SA. The summary consolidated financial results of the group at and for the period ended
31 December 2016 comprise the company and its subsidiaries ('group') and the group's interests in associates and joint
arrangements.

The summary consolidated financial statements contained in the Securities Exchange News Service (SENS) announcement have
been extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements. The summary consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements for preliminary reports and the Companies Act
applicable to summary financial statements.

The JSE Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the
measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the South African Institute of
Chartered Accountants Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, and Financial
Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and also, as a minimum, to contain the disclosure
required by International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements, from which the summary consolidated financial statements were derived, are in terms
of the IFRS and are consistent with the accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of the previous consolidated
financial statements.

The summary consolidated financial results have been prepared under the supervision of Raisibe Morathi CA(SA), the Chief
Financial Officer. The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the summary consolidated financial results and for
correctly extracting the financial information from those underlying audited consolidated financial statements for inclusion in the
2016 year-end results booklet and SENS announcement.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD*
There are no material events after the reporting period to report on.

AUDITED SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' OPINION
The summary consolidated financial statements comprise the summary consolidated statement of financial position at
31 December 2016, summary consolidated statement of comprehensive income, summary consolidated statement of changes in
equity and summary consolidated statement of cashflows for the year then ended and selected explanatory notes, which are indicated by the symbol *.

These summary consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 have been audited by KPMG Inc and
Deloitte & Touche, who expressed an unmodified opinion thereon. The auditors also expressed an unmodified opinion on the
consolidated financial statements from which these summary consolidated financial statements were derived.

A copy of the auditors' report on the summary consolidated financial statements and of the auditors' report on the consolidated
financial statements are available for inspection at the company's registered office, together with the consolidated financial
statements identified in the respective auditors' reports.

The auditors' report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in the 2016 year-end results booklet and
SENS announcement. Shareholders are therefore advised that, to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditors'
engagement, they should obtain a copy of the auditors' report, together with the accompanying financial statements, from
Nedbank's registered office.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition and results of
operations of Nedbank and its group companies that, by their nature, involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events
and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include global, national and regional economic conditions; levels of
securities markets; interest rates; exchange rates; credit or other risks of lending and investment activities; as well as competitive
and regulatory factors. By consequence, all forward-looking statements have not been reviewed or reported on by the group's
auditors.

NEDBANK NON-REDEEMABLE NON-CUMULATIVE PREFERENCE SHARES - DECLARATION OF DIVIDEND

The group, in the ordinary course of business, enters into transactions that expose it to tax, legal and business risks. Provisions
are made for known liabilities that are expected to materialise. Possible obligations and known liabilities where no reliable
estimate can be made or it is considered improbable that an outflow would result are reported as contingent liabilities. This is in
accordance with IAS 37: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

There are a number of legal or potential claims against Nedbank Ltd and its subsidiary companies, the outcome of which cannot
at present be foreseen.

Fair-value hierarchy

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE
The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Underlying the definition of fair value is
an assumption that an entity is a going concern without any intention or need to liquidate, to curtail materially the scale of its
operations or to undertake a transaction on adverse terms. Fair value is not, therefore, the amount that an entity would receive
or pay in a forced transaction, involuntary liquidation or distressed sale.

The existence of published price quotations in an active market is the most reliable evidence of fair value and, where they exist,
they are used to measure the financial asset or financial liability. A market is considered to be active if transactions occur with
sufficient volumes and frequencies to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. These quoted prices would generally be
classified as level 1 in terms of the fair-value hierarchy.

Where a quoted price does not represent fair value at the measurement date or where the market for a financial instrument is
not active, the group establishes fair value by using a valuation technique. These valuation techniques include, but are not limited
to, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same in nature, reference to the value of the
assets of underlying business, earnings multiples, discounted-cashflow analysis and various option pricing models. Valuation
techniques applied by the group would generally be classified as level 2 or level 3 in terms of the fair-value hierarchy. The
determination of whether an instrument is classified as level 2 or level 3 is dependent on the significance of observable inputs
versus unobservable inputs in relation to the fair value of the instrument. Inputs typically used in valuation techniques include
discount rates, appropriate swap rates, volatility, servicing costs, equity prices, commodity prices, counterparty credit risk, and
the group's own credit on financial liabilities.

The group has an established control framework for the measurement of fair value, which includes formalised review protocols
for the independent review and validation of fair values separate from the business unit entering into the transaction. The
valuation methodologies, techniques and inputs applied to the fair-value measurement of the financial instruments have been
applied in a manner consistent with that of the previous financial year.

FAIR-VALUE HIERARCHY
The financial instruments recognised at fair value have been categorised into the three input levels of the International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) fair-value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2: Valuation techniques based on (directly or indirectly) market-observable inputs. Various factors influence the availability
of observable inputs. These factors may vary from product to product and change over time. Factors include the depth of
activity in the relevant market, the type of product, whether the product is new and not widely traded in the market, the
maturity of market modelling and the nature of the transaction (bespoke or generic).

Level 3: Valuation techniques based on significant inputs that are not observable. To the extent that a valuation is based on
inputs that are not market-observable the determination of the fair value can be more subjective, depending on the significance
of the unobservable inputs to the overall valuation. Unobservable inputs are determined on the basis of the best information
available and may include reference to similar instruments, similar maturities, appropriate proxies or other analytical techniques.
All fair values disclosed below are recurring in nature.

EFFECT OF CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE ASSUMPTIONS TO REASONABLE POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES — LEVEL 3 INSTRUMENTS
The fair-value measurement of financial instruments is, in certain circumstances, measured using valuation techniques that include assumptions that are not market-observable. Where
these scenarios apply, the group performs stress testing on the fair value of the relevant instruments. In performing the stress testing, appropriate levels for the unobservable-input
parameters are chosen so that they are consistent with prevailing market evidence and in line with the group's approach to valuation control. The following information is intended to
illustrate the potential impact of the relative uncertainty in the fair value of financial instruments for which valuation is dependent on unobservable-input parameters and which are
classified as level 3 in the fair-value hierarchy. However, the disclosure is neither predictive nor indicative of future movements in fair value.

Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value for which fair value is disclosed

Certain financial instruments of the group are not carried at fair value, including those categorised as held to maturity, loans and
receivables, and financial liabilities at amortised cost. The calculation of the fair value of these financial instruments incorporates
the group's best estimate of the value at which these financial assets could be exchanged, or financial liabilities could be
transferred, between market participants at the measurement date. The group's estimate of what fair value is does not
necessarily represent the amount for which the group would be able to sell the asset or transfer the respective financial liability in
an involuntary liquidation or distressed sale.

The fair values of these respective financial instruments at the reporting date detailed below are estimated only for the purpose
of IFRS disclosure, as follows:

There has been no significant changes in the methodology used to estimate the fair value of the above instruments during the year.

LOANS AND ADVANCES
Loans and advances that are not recognised at fair value principally comprise variable-rate financial assets. The interest rates on
these variable rate-financial assets are adjusted when the applicable benchmark interest rate changes.

Loans and advances are not actively traded in most markets and it is therefore not possible to determine the fair value of these
loans and advances using observable market prices and market inputs. Due to the unique characteristics of the loans and
advances portfolio and the fact that there have been no recent transactions involving the disposals of such loans and advances,
there is no basis to determine a price that could be negotiated between market participants in an orderly transaction. The group
is not currently in the position of a forced sale of such underlying loans and advances and it would therefore be inappropriate to
value the loans and advances on a forced-sale basis.

For specifically impaired loans and advances the carrying value as determined after consideration of the group's IAS 39 credit
impairments, is considered the best estimate of fair value.

The group has developed a methodology and model to determine the fair value of the gross exposures for the performing loans
and advances measured at amortised cost. This model incorporates the use of average interest rates and projected monthly
cashflows per product type. Future cashflows are discounted using interest rates at which similar loans would be granted to
borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities. Methodologies and models are updated on a continuous basis for changes
in assumptions, forecasts and modelling techniques. Future forecasts of the group's probability of default (PDs) and loss given
defaults (LGDs) for periods 2017 to 2019 (2015: for periods 2016 to 2018) are based on the latest available internal data and is
applied to the first three years' projected cashflows. Thereafter, PDs and LGDs are gradually reverted to their long-run averages
and are applied to the remaining projected cashflows. Inputs into the model include various assumptions utilised in the pricing of
loans and advances. The determination of such inputs is highly subjective and therefore any change to one or more of the
assumptions may result in a significant change in the determination of the fair value of loans and advances.

GOVERNMENT AND OTHER SECURITIES
The fair value of government and other securities is determined based on available market prices (level 1) or discounted cashflow
analysis (level 2), where an instrument is not quoted or the market is considered to be inactive.

OTHER SHORT-TERM SECURITIES
The fair value of other short-term securities is determined using a discounted cashflow analysis (level 2).

LONG-TERM DEBT INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of long-term debt instruments is determined based on available market prices (level 1) or discounted cashflow
analysis (level 2) where an instrument is not quoted or the market is considered to be inactive.

AMOUNTS OWED TO DEPOSITORS
The amounts owed to depositors principally comprise of variable-rate liabilities. The carrying value of the amounts owed to
depositors approximates fair value because the instruments reprice to current market rates at frequent intervals. In addition, a
significant portion of the balance is callable or is short term in nature.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, OTHER ASSETS, MANDATORY DEPOSITS WITH CENTRAL BANKS, AND
PROVISIONS AND OTHER LIABILITIES
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other assets, mandatory deposits with central banks and provisions and other
liabilities are considered a reasonable approximation of their respective fair values, as they are either short term in nature or are
repriced to current market rates at frequent intervals.
