Skye Bank Plc, one of the fastest growing retail banks in Nigeria, is using the “Reach for the Skye Millionaire” promo to reward customers for their loyalty.
Season I of the reward promo produced over 37 millionaires, 48 customers won N250,000 and over 120 customers went home with N100,000 each and other household consolation prizes.
According the Bank’s Executive Director, Technology and Services, Innocent Ike: “This reward promo is another way of reconnecting with our customers and the society at large for whom we exist. There can be no Skye Bank without you. We have also embarked on this as way for us to say thank you to you our esteemed customers for banking with us.
“The reward promo is also intended to encourage Nigerians to imbibe the savings culture as no society or economy can grow without it. It is from this savings that one can invest and nurture it until it grows to become something one can fall back on in the future.”
Ike reiterated that new accounts opened at the draw venue, stand a chance of winning instant gifts.
Ike further explained that the first 200 re-activated accounts on a monthly basis will also enjoy free gift of recharge cards.
