I thank Fidelity Bank for the gift.” He urged people who are yet to open an account with with the bank to quickly do so, saying that they might be the next lucky winners.
Another customer, who won refrigerator, Charles Igwe, also expressed joy over the development, saying: “I was in my business area yesterday when they called to inform me that I have won a refrigerator. I did not believe it, but on getting here today, I was given my gift. I happy about this and I thank Fidelity Bank.”
In her address at the event, Janet Nnabuko, Promo Manager and Group Head, Savings, said: “We still have 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th draws. So, what we are saying is that we still have four more draws to go, to give out N56 million and a lot of consolation prizes of fridges and generators. What we are asking everybody is if you don’t have account with Fidelity Bank, just visit any of our branches and open a savings account to be part of the promo.” She explained that success of the previous promos and positive feedback from customers has always encouraged the bank to come up with fresh and more refreshing promos.
“At the conclusion of every promo, we try to get feedback from customers. Our customers, honestly, are very existed about our promos, because whatever we promise at the beginning, they see us availing all those gifts to the customers. You recall we did Save for Shelter and so many of our customers won houses in Port-Harcourt, Abuja and even here in Lagos,” she added.
