She reiterated that the promo is designed to reward both new and existing customers of the Ecobank within the six months period of the promo from August 1, 2017 to January 31, 2018.

Customers participating in the Ecobank Target Saving Promo are expected to save and retain a minimum amount of money from N10,000 monthly for one month to qualify for entries into the monthly draws where 30 winners will emerge every month.
A total of 60 winners will emerge at the grand draw slated to take place in January 2018, with each of the winners having double of their total contributions during the promo period.
To qualify for the grand draw, customers must have made steady contributions for at least three consecutive months.
Participating customers are also encouraged to increase their chances of winning by referring other individuals to save with the bank.
To increase opportunities of winning, customers need a minimum of three referrals for an additional entry into the grand draw pool; six referrals will give two additional entries and so forth.
These referrals must also be for the Target Savings Account, where the referred individuals are also making steady monthly deposits.
