Thirteen customers emerged from the second monthly/first bi-monthly draws of the ‘Get Alert in Millions Savings Promo’ of Fidelity Bank, walking away with N19 million.
The winning was a reward of being faithful and committed to servicing their accounts.
At the draws held at the bank’s regional office in Abuja, the three categories of winners were N3 million, N2 million and N1 million customers in addition to 18 consolation prizes of television set, generators and refrigerators.
The Lagos Regional Office had the highest amount of N6 million in total followed by the North West Region with N4 million and Abuja, N3 million cumulative amount.
The southeast, south-south and southwest had N2 million each.
Speaking at the event, the managing director and chief executive officer of the bank, Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo said lucky customers of the bank will go home with N120 million at the end of the promo in April 2020.
Okonkwo who was represented by the regional bank head, northwest, Mannir Ringim disclosed that N15 million was won during the first draws in Ibadan and N19 million in Abuja, bringing the total to N34 million after the second draw.
He said the promo which started in October 2019 was part of its efforts at deepening the financial inclusion strategy of the government and ensuring more people are financially included.
“As we speak, over 50 million Nigerians are financially excluded, which represents about 45 percent of our population and we in Fidelity Bank want to bridge this gap and also encourage more people to embrace savings culture,” he said.
Shading more light on how people can qualify for the draw, the bank’s head of saving, Mrs. Janet Nnabuko, said both existing and new customers can win by simply topping their account with N10,000 for existing customers or someone opening a new account and building it up to N20,000.
She further disclosed that to qualify for the star prize of N3 million, one needs to build their account to N50, 000.
For the grand prize of N10 million, she said one only has to grow one’s account to N200, 000.
