Customers Win N59m in Access Bank Savings Promo

Mrs. Nnenna Chukwu, on Thursday became the latest star prize winner, in the Access Bank Plc, where 1,016 customers won prizes totaling over N59m in its DiamondXtra season 11 quarterly draw presentation at its Lagos headquarters.
She is to receive N100, 000 monthly for the next 20 years in the salary for life category.
Unable to hide her excitement, Chukwu said she opened DiamondXtra account a long time and was not expecting to win in the savings scheme, commending Access Bank for providing the opportunity to save and win at the same time. The savings campaign, she noted, would help to foster savings culture among Nigerians.
Others winners included Nwoko Chibuikem, Aliyu Umar and Adewale Adekoya.
Speaking at the event, Executive Director, Retail Banking, Access Bank Plc, Victor Etuokwu, said the DiamondXtra initiative was the bank’s little way of creating and adding value and meeting the needs of its customers.
He expressed the bank’s commitment to rewarding its shareholders for their patronage, adding that DiamondXtra is the best banking product in the country at the moment.
“This is the 11th edition and the product has been rewarding Nigerians. It is something that we think it is important as every little thing you do help. There is no way a bank can add value to the economy if it does not do things like this, so the products of a bank must add value and DiamondXtra adds value,” Etuokwu said.
According to him, in over 10 years, more than N5bn has been doled out as the bank continues to soar on the goodwill of its customers and their patronage.
“We want every Nigerians to move to the DiamondXtra initiative so that they can partake in the goodies which the product brings. The only way companies remain profitable is by creating value so as long as we keep doing this, our customer base will increase and this initiative will not affect our bottom-line,” Etuokwu said.
Also speaking, Head, Product Insights and Capability, Access Bank Plc, Rob Giles, said that DiamondXtra has positively impacted the bank’s depositor base as customers are more comfortable with having a DiamondXtra account rather than the normal savings account.
“Our business is all about customers and our success is also the success of our customers. As our customers grow, we grow as well and so we have helped millions of people to save with DiamondXtra in the last 10 years and we are still doing that as regards this year which is the 11th edition and in addition to helping people save, they have been winning salary for life, education allowances for five years and senior citizen prizes aimed at helping some of our most senior citizens get additional value among others. So we have been creating magic moments for people and by doing that, it helps Access Bank because people want to continue to save with us and patronize Access Bank,” he added.
A statement by the bank explained that DiamondXtra is an interest yielding hybrid account, which allows deposit of both cash and third party cheques. Hybrid means a combination of both savings and current account features. The reward scheme which was launched in 2008 and has been running every year since inception, rewarded over 5,000 customers in 2018, and over N5billion has been given away in cash and gift items in the past 10 years. To be one of the winning customers in the monthly and quarterly draws, simply walk into any access bank close to you and open a Diamondxtra account.
