Skye Bank has used the Reach for the Skye Millionaire reward promo initiative to change lives, accelerate employment generation and develop indigenous entrepreneurs, while encouraging savings culture among Nigerians.
According to Skye Bank’s Group Head of Retail Banking, Ndubuisi Osakwe, the reward promo was instituted by the Bank to encourage savings culture, especially amongst the mass market segment.
Osakwe said: “As a bank, we are committed to continually satisfy the needs of our customers as well as empower and encourage savings culture in them through rewards like this and also provide opportunities for them to establish small businesses with limited capital provided.
“The reward focuses on building a long lasting relationship with our customers based on trust as well as supporting the financial inclusion drive of the Central Bank of Nigeria meant to bring a lot more people into the financial system and the formal economy.”
To participate in the draw, customers are encouraged to open any Skye savings account and make a minimum deposit of N10,000 over a 30-day period.
