FBN Bank Ghana Limited, a subsidiary of First Bank of Nigeria, has launched the second edition of its deposit mobilization campaign.
The promo dubbed: ‘FBNBank Save and Win’ seeks to encourage Ghanaians to embrace the culture of savings and also broaden the customer base of the bank.
Expected to end on August 31, 2018, it will be available to customers across all FBN Bank’s 19 branches in the country.
Managing Director of FBN Bank Ghana Limited, Gbenga Odeyemi, said to participate in the promo, customers need to make a deposit of GH¢200 or multiples of it into an existing or new individual savings or current account.
He indicated that each GH¢200 deposit earns a customer one point.
“All customers who at the start of the promo have a minimum balance of GH¢1,000 in their accounts will get one point for every GH¢1000 as advance points up to a maximum of 10 points.
According to Mr. Odeyemi, advance points will be earned only on incremental basis for as long as customer deposit remains in the account during the period of the promotion.
He added that to participate in the monthly draws or the grand draw, customers need to maintain a minimum of GH¢1,000 in their accounts.”
The prizes for the grand draw include LED televisions, fridges, washing machines, gas cookers, laptops, iPads, Smartphones, among others.
There shall be 40 winners in all from three mini draws and the grand draw, with each draw expected to produce 10 winners.
“We are using this medium to encourage every Ghanaian and members of the public to participate in our savings promo,” he said.
The MD seized the opportunity to assure clients of the bank that it shall meet the GH¢400 million capital requirement set by the Bank of Ghana (BoG) for commercial banks.
He said the bank shall apply part of its retained earnings and support from its parent bank in Nigeria to meet the requirement, and therefore urged customers not to panic.
