Access Bank has said up to N1 billion in cash and items have been kept aside to reward its loyal customers in the Access Winfest campaign designed to promote a savings culture and efficient banking among Nigerians using alternative channels.
In a statement made available to Business Post, the financial institution disclosed that all the customers need to do is to fund, transact, maintain, and increase their deposits from October 2022 to November 2023.
“To get on board the winning train, simply increase the balance on your account, carry out transactions using our USSD code *901# and the accessMore app to pay bills, send money to loved ones, buy airtime, and make international money transfers, among other things,” the Deputy Managing Director, Retail, North, Access Bank, Mr Victor Etuokwu, said.
Speaking further, he said, “We have a total reward of N1 billion for you, our customers, whether you are a student, a business owner, a salary earner or an entrepreneur.
“Many lucky customers will receive cash rewards from the bank ranging from N5,000 to N5 million; airtime rewards; grocery baskets; Salary4Life; rent for a year; business grants; educational support; and many other types of rewards.”
“Over the past two decades, Access Bank has continued to grow in every dimension, particularly its customer base, due to customers like you whose patronage, advocacy, and loyalty have remained unparalleled.
“At Access Bank, we care most about how happy our customers are, and we hope to find more chances like this one to make their lives and the lives of many other Nigerians better,” Mr Etuokwu noted.
Recall that recently, a Senior Retail Advisor at Access Bank, Mr Rob Giles, told the media at the campaign’s launch in Lagos that the idea behind it is to keep the bank’s promise to reward customers for their loyalty and continued business.
He also emphasised that it is simple to participate in the Fund and Win campaign and be eligible to win cash prizes by saving up to a minimum of N25,000 or more every month in savings or business accounts to earn a chance that qualifies a chance to win N5 million.
“You can also be one of the 1,000 lucky winners of N5,000 monthly. For every N25,000 you save, you get a ticket for the Mega draw and increase your chances of winning the grand prize in the Fund and Win campaign,” he said.
Mr Giles’ words were echoed by the Group Head of Consumer Banking at Access Bank, Ms Adaeze Umeh, who stated that the rewards campaign is just one of the many ways the bank adds value and meets the needs of its most loyal customers.
She also mentioned that Diamond Business Advantage (DBA) customers with outstanding monthly fees are not left out as they can fund with the equivalent of their accrued fees to enjoy a 100 per cent waiver and stand a chance to be among the lucky 1,000 customers to win N5,000 in the monthly draw and qualify to win N5 million.
