The four winners of the latest edition of the campaign promo tagged ‘’Season 3.1”,include

As part of the promo, the Pan-African has also rewarded 100 customers with cash prizes of N50,000 monthly since November 2022 during the three-month campaign which ran between November 2022 to January 2023.
According to Ecobank Nigeria, the Super Rewards Campaign is a customer-focused initiative designed to reward customers’ loyalty and consistent use of the bank’s electronic payment platforms.
Speaking at the cheque presentation in Lagos, Korede Adeniyi, head of consumer banking at Ecobank Nigeria, explained that the bank introduced the scheme to reward customers’ loyalty. He added that it was also to promote the use of its electronic payment channels that offers convenient banking.
Adeniyi further noted that the third edition of the reward initiative which started about two years ago and the feedback from their customers has been quite impressive, adding that it was created not just to encourage people to save,but also transact on their digital channels.
“Today, you and I know that with the cash scarcity, the digital banking channels have become very helpful. So today, we’re rewarding four customers who won N4 million. We have also rewarded 100 customers with cash prizes of N50,000 monthly during the period of the campaign,” she said.
Commenting on the dynamics of the scheme, Daberechi Effiong, head of Asset Products at Ecobank Nigeria, said the conditions to qualify for the scheme were made simple and easy to ensure both new and existing customers of the bank participate and get rewarded.
Effiong explained that new customers were expected to open an account with at least a minimum of N5,000 and maintain the deposit for a 30-day period.
This, she noted, also applies to existing customers, who only need to fund their active account with a minimum of N5,000 or reactivate their dormant account with a minimum of N5,000 and maintain the deposit for a 30-day period.
The presentation was witnessed by officials from the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) and the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), who applauded the transparency of the exercise.
