Pan
African financial institution, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc on Tuesday,
launched the ‘UBA Bumper Account’, a hybrid account, targeted at transforming
the lives of its customers. The new account is in line with the bank’s
mission of creating superior value for its stakeholders while encouraging
saving cultures among Nigerians.
The
account, carefully crafted to improve the lives of the UBA customers, will
offer account holders an opportunity to win cash prizes of up to N2 million.
Speaking
during the launch and monthly draw which was held at the UBA Head Office, in
Lagos on Tuesday, the Group Head, Retail Banking, Jude Anele said, the New ‘UBA
Bumper Account’ was created with the customer in mind.
Anele
said, “We have in recent times deepened our focus on the most important aspect
of our business – the customers we serve. Hence, our huge investment in
technology to make banking easier and seamless, even as we introduce new
offerings such as this Bumper Account, that will deliver improved value to
stakeholders.
He
explained that new and existing customers of the bank need to ensure they have
a minimum deposit of N5,000 in their UBA Bumper Account to qualify for draws.
According to him, 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.
In
the first draw which was held live during the official
launch in Lagos today, 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.
“A
total of 100 customers emerged winners at the live draws which took place here
today, and as you have seen, some of our customers here present were part of
the lucky ones who won N100,000 each. From here on, lucky customers will win
from N10,000 to N2 million each in the monthly, quarterly and targeted draws,”
Anele stated.
He
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,” Anele
noted.
Amos
Wisdom, one of the winners present, could not hide his joy when he was
announced as one of the winners. “I am still very amazed. Before I came here, I
had the conviction that I would win.
All my life, I have never won anything like this, and I am very happy that I
won this time. Thank you so much UBA,” he said.
Another
winner, Ohagbelum Peace, who could not believe it when her name was announced
said if she wasn’t present herself, she would not have believed in promos like the UBA
Bumper Account. “I am very grateful. This
is a new experience for me and I
am now a number one fan of UBA.
This has re-enforced my belief for this bank.”
The
Deputy Director and Co-ordinator, National Lottery Regulatory Commission
was present during the event to
ensure that winners were properly selected in a fair manner without prejudice.
She noted that the commission had worked with UBA in many promos in the past
without any issues.
The
Head Consumer Banking, Chiedu Ibeku appreciating
the customers present, said, “we had two major objectives for this account
which is to say a big thank you to our customers for being there and most
importantly, to encourage a
savings culture. Our intention is not only to reward loyalty but also to
transform the lives of our customers for good”.
“UBA
will not relent, because we are aware that if our customers succeed, we
ultimately succeed too and this will spur us on to make the desired impact in
their lives,” she said.
