Access Bank Plc says it has rewarded 20 of its customers with “exciting prices” as part of its ongoing ‘Family Fortune Promo’.

In a statement, Abdul Imoyo, head, media relations, said the customers, who were the first set to take part in the promo, won gifts including rechargeable fans, microwave ovens, among others.

The surprise gifts to the 20 lucky families precede the emergence of the first batch of winners from the weekly random selections that would soon be unveiled by the bank.

According to the statement, the promo which comes under the bank’s family savings scheme was instituted to promote savings culture in the country.

“It is designed to reward the collective savings habit of families with grand prizes and competitive interest rates while they enjoy the confidentiality of their banking transactions as individuals,” the statement read.

Ope Wemi-Jones, the bank’s group head of inclusive banking, expressed appreciation to customers for their loyalty and trust in Access Bank.

Wemi-Jones said adding that the promo was initiated to add value to customers who have been doing business with the bank.

“We want to transform and impact the lives of our most valuable customers. Access Bank is not just encouraging customers to save, but we are also rewarding them for choosing to bank with us,” the bank official said.

“The nationwide savings promo, first of its kind in the industry with over 100,000 gifts to be given away, targets the family units with weekly, monthly and the mega random selections.

“Among prizes to be given away by the bank include home furniture, 42 inch televisions, mobile phones and home theatres for 100,000 families respectively,” the statement read.

“At the mega random selection which would hold in Lagos in December 2017, 3 families will go home as proud winners of a house each.

“There are also other luxurious prizes to be given away, including family holidays, 16 KVA generators, brand new cars, and 50 others to receive scholarships.

“Customers can participate in the Promo by opening any of Access Bank’s savings account products namely Premier Savings, Target Savings, Youth Banking, Children Banking, Instant Savings Tier 1 and 2 and Evergreen, bringing on board at least 3 other family members to make a minimum family size of 4.
