THE Diamond Bank Plc. has continued to rewards its customers nationwide. The bank’s on-going ninth year promo on Wednesday, July 5, witnessed massive prize awards in Ibadan, Oyo state capital, as one lucky customer and 40 others went home with brand new Hyundai Accent Car and N25 million, respectively.
The Ibadan show which held at Mokola roundabout of the city saw large turnout of the bank’s customers with some publicly testifying to the awards the won during the 8th edition of the promo held in 2016. The bank’s management said the ongoing “Diamond Xtra Corporate Draw” was in furtherance of its policy of encouraging culture of saving money and rewarding customers that bank with it.
Grace Oluwatoyin Adegbite from Abeokuta became the latest owner of Hyundai Accent with others. In about three weeks’ time, another draws have been slated for Ibadan where lucky customers would be rewarded with lifetime salary of N100,000 monthly.
Those rewarded so far and others for the monthly salary, are those with at least N5,000 account balance. About 30 persons who deposited a minimum of N5,000 with the bank were given N500,000 each and N1 million each went to 10 people.
Aisha Ahmad, head, consumer banking of the bank, said: “What we are trying to achieve is to ensure that Nigerians secure their future. If you look at every economy that is vibrant, they usually have a very large savings culture. We go through a very transparent, open process that is vetted by KPMG, our regulating agent. As customers continue to win these prizes, they get used to this saving culture, and this is only for Diamond Bank customers all over the country. Through this, Diamond is fostering development, encouraging growth, and empowering families.
“The concept of ‘salary for life’ is very interesting because if anybody wins the ticket, he or she gets a monthly salary of N100,000 for twenty years. It is the same process of what we have been doing for the past nine years,” she explained.
A staff of the KPMG accounting firm, Lagos, which coordinated the draws, Kenneth Ukanwa, said: “We do ensure that the procedure set out for this draw is transparently followed. “Every N5, 000 attracts an electronic ticket and it is real. We can confirm that names of all customers going into the draw are computerised into our system. We review the script of the selection process to ensure there is no fraud in it. We always do verification in Lagos and at the point of draw.”
