United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has rewarded its loyal customers with N100,000 each in the UBA Bumper Account draw.
The draw, which took place at the UBA Head office on Tuesday, was held via the Facebook platform in strict compliance with social distancing rules as directed by the Federal and Lagos State Government where 100 more customers emerged winners through a transparent draw witnessed by representatives of the Consumer Protection Council, National Lottery Regulatory Commission and the Lagos State Lottery Board.
UBA’s Group Head, Consumer and Retail Banking, Jude Anele, who addressed the customers following the draw spoke about the bank’s excitement to be able to put smiles on the faces of as much as 100 customers at this critical time when livelihoods and lives are being threatened by the pandemic.
“These are difficult times indeed with little to cheer about because people are going through trying times. However, for us in UBA, we want our customers to know that we are in these together, that is why we have taken it upon ourselves to reward those that have kept our business going with their loyalty. With this reward, we want to encourage them to stay happy and safe even as they continue to aim for their dream regardless of the present challenges,” Anele said.
He noted that the bumper draw is also in line with the bank’s mission of creating superior value for its stakeholders while encouraging saving cultures among Nigerians.
Explaining the modalities for the draw, Anele said that all new and existing customers need do to qualify for the draw is to ensure that they have a minimum deposit of N5,000 in their UBA Bumper Account.
“Current UBA customers are to dial *919*20*1# to migrate to the UBA Bumper Account whilst potential customers should dial *919*20# if interested in opening a UBA Bumper Account,” he added.
In the first draw which was held live during the official launch in Lagos, a total of 100 customers emerged winners as the ‘Bumper to Bumper’ Crooner, Wande Coal, serenaded guests with his famous hit songs to the delight of all present.
The Group Head Marketing and Customer Experience, Michelle Nwoga, explained that the bumper account was created specifically with the customer in mind, adding that UBA truly puts its customers first and will stop at nothing to ensure they have the right solutions to support their needs.
“We are committed to delivering exceptional service and will always seek to excite our customers at every interaction. We back our words with action and that is why a total of 100 customers emerged winners at the last draw which also took place here,” she said.
Nwoga added that a monthly shopping allowance of N100,000 for a year is also up for grabs.
“No fewer than 50 account holders will get a whopping N2 million each across all participating regions. This account is open to both existing and new customers of the bank who save a minimum of N5,000,” she added.
When contacted, the customers who emerged winners of the draw agreed that the total reward of N10 million was timely and would be very useful in assisting them especially in the face of the coronavirus pandemic currently ravaging the world with attendant effect on incomes of individuals.
One of the winners, Mafulul King, told the bank on phone: “I am still very amazed. I never knew I could get lucky and win. All my life, I have never won anything like this, and I am very happy that I won this time. What a time to get lucky than now when this corona pandemic has affected my business severely. You can’t imagine how relieved and delighted I am. God bless you guys, thank you so much UBA.”
