He noted that there was a remarkable increase in the number of participants in this edition compared to the previous one, adding that the bank’s objective of helping customers’ save for the rainy day is being achieved.
“It is very easy to spend money but to save is a habit all must imbibe. Our key objective is to encourage our customers to save regularly. We are here to support our customers and to encourage them to save as well,” he said.
Liadi urged other customers to take advantage of the subsequent opportunities the remaining two quarterly draws offer.
“There is no better time to give back and delight customers than this challenging economic period where people need all the support they can get to make life more meaningful. With this in mind we decided to prioritize our customers as we always do at UBA by giving them plenty to cheer about and that is the reason why another 20 more customers have been made millionaires today”.
“During the recent cheque presentation to the first quarter lucky winners, I watched with bated breath how happy and elated each of the winners became. You could easily see the joy and happiness in their eyes indicating that the N1.5m would make a huge impact in their lives. That, itself, will spur us to do more in fulfilling their dreams,” he added.
Also speaking, the bank’s head of retail liabilities, Tomiwa Sotiloye, said the promo is consistent with UBA’s novel initiatives in prioritising customers adding that it was necessitated by the invaluable belief the bank has in its customers.
“We will continue to listen and give them nothing short of the best that they deserve. UBA will not relent, because we are impressed with the impact this has made so far and will continue to touch the lives of our loyal customers positively,” said Sotiloye.
Sotiloye added: “The criteria for qualifying for the draw is to save at least N30, 000 in your UBA savings account or in installments of N10,000 each for a period of three months.
Those who are yet to be UBA customers can open a savings account on any of our numerous bank channels including Magic Banking (91920#) and LEO, or in any of the UBA branches across the country, and start saving.”
