Standard Chartered Bank, one of the leading banks in The Gambia in terms of financial indices, on Thursday gave some precious prizes to its customers, to stimulate, nurture and instill savings habits in them.
It was the third and first of three grand draws of SCB’s
‘With you all the way’ campaign, which started in February 2012 in which individual
customers are rewarded for saving at least D10,000 into their accounts per
month to stand a chance of winning any of the lofty and fabulous prizes given
by the bank.
Held at the Standard Chartered Kairaba Branch, the three
winners of the second monthly draw (held in April) received their prizes as
follows: Yaya Conteh, a 6-month supply of free electricity; Adama Janneh, air-conditioning unit with free installation
and free electricity bill for six months; and Ann Rivington, American-style
side-by-side fridge freezer.
In a computer generated number raffle draw, Ansumana Camara
stood out as the winner of the quarterly grand draw and as such could benefit
from a scheme of food provision of about D10,000 per month starting from May to
end of 2012.
“This is eight months of food provisions where every month
the lucky customer can spend D10,000 on food, such as cooking oil, chicken,
rice, and other food items,” said Olimatou Faal, corporate affairs officer of SCB
Gambia.
