As part of efforts to encourage the saving culture among its customers, United Bank for Africa Plc, on Tuesday said it has rewarded 20 loyal customers with a total of N30m at N1.5m each in the first edition of its quarterly draw for the ongoing UBA Wise Savers Promo.
At the event held at its Marina, Lagos headquarters, the 20 lucky customers were selected following a draw that was witnessed by representatives of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission, (NLRC); Lagos State Lottery, Board (LSLB) and the Consumer Protection Council (CPC), as well as members of the media.
To qualify for the draws, new and existing customers are expected to save at least N10,000 each month for three consecutive months, or N30,000 for 90 days in the promo, which will run for the rest of the year.
Apart from the N30m won by 20 customers on Tuesday, another N90m is still expected to be won by 60 more loyal customers in the remaining three quarters of the year.
When contacted on the phone, one of the winners: Nnadumije Ebube Dawn, excitedly expressed gratitude to UBA Plc, expressing happiness at being a customer and thanked the management for its thoughtfulness that will help enrich customers, especially during these trying economic times.
Addressing participants at the occasion, Anant Rao, Group Executive, Digital and Consumer Banking, said the promo is part of its customer-focused initiatives, adding that customers who save consistently would be rewarded as part of promoting financial inclusion.
“We believe it is time we rewarded our customers who have been very loyal over the years. Without them, we would not have made the giant strides attained thus far,” he added.
Continuing, Rao assured: “Because our customers are invaluable to all that we do, we listen and give them nothing short of the best that they deserve.
“We remain committed to consistently improving customer service and rewarding our loyal customers. The Wise Savers Promo seeks to compliment current initiatives aimed at growing savings,” he noted.
