The sixteenth season of DiamondXtra, a savings and reward account where customers of Access Bank are rewarded with several prizes, have been unveiled in Lagos.
The Season 16th of the special interest yielding hybrid account which allows deposit of both cash and third-party cheques has been upgraded as customers will win prizes to the value of N200 million and three SUVs amongst other mouthwatering prizes.
Speaking at the unveiling in Alaba International Market, Mr Bolarinwa Animashaun, Regional Sales Director, Lagos, said the new season will bring more goodies to the customers as the bank has taken their interest at heart.
“In the last fifteen years, we have been able to ensure customer loyalty, reward committed customers over time and show that we are a bank that is ready to empower people and partner with people. If I take it into specific figures, we have rewarded 26,696 customers and we’ve given a total sum of N6.5 billion over the period.
“This Season 16 is interesting, because we have seen a lot of opportunities to expand into digital opportunities and this time around, we will be rewarding 15,786 customers, and 10,000 of them will be digitally rewarded.
“This is almost half of what we have done over the last 15 years. So that is what is making it special. We have taken it into the possibilities of how technology can expand our business and reward customers. The draws for the new season are going to be the same as the previous ones as it will be held in different regions.
“So, we start from the monthly draws, quarterly draws and the annual draws. What makes it extremely interesting this year is that we will be rewarding with up to N200 million in prizes and we have added some very interesting gifts. We will be given out three SUVs as part of the N200 million price for this year,” Animashaun confirmed.
At the unveiling, Access Bank conducted onsite draws where 48 customers who have DiamondXtra accounts and were present at the unveiling won cash prizes ranging from N20,000 to N200,000.
Breakdown shows 40 customers won N20,000 each, five customers won N50,000, two customers won N100,000, while one customer went home with N200,000. Among winners of the N20,000 prize was Mr Victor Edobor, who said he opened the DiamondXtra accounts 24-hours before the draws.
One of the two winners of the N100,000 prize, Mrs. Maureen Nneka Oforka, revealed that she was surprised to have won at the well-attended event as that was her first time winning any prize.
“I have never won any prize in my life. This is my first. I came here reluctantly and thank God, I am here and I am a winner of N100,000 which has already been paid into my account,” she added.
The grand prize winner of N200,000, Mr. Emeka Ezikeugo, a trader in Alaba, said: “I will forever be grateful to Access Bank for the prize as I was not expecting it. I thank the bank for showing leadership among its peers.”
To qualify for the DiamondXtra Season 16, which is open to both new and existing customers, new customers are required to open a DiamondXtra savings account with just N5,000 by dialling *901*5# or walking into one of our branches to open the account. The more multiples of N5,000 both new and old customers save, the higher their chances of winning at the monthly, quarterly and annual draws.
DiamondXtra is an interest yielding hybrid account which allows deposit of both cash and third party cheques. Hybrid means a combination of both savings and current account features. The DiamondXtra reward scheme has given away over N6.5 billion in cash and household items to over 15,000 loyal customers over the last 15 years. Please click HERE to learn more.
