GAIM 4: Fidelity Bank splashes N39m, gifts on loyal customers

Fidelity Bank Plc, at its 6th and final draw of the Fidelity Bank Get Alert In Millions (GAIM) Season 4 Savings promotion doled out total cash winnings of N39 million to 15 customers and 18 consolation prizes of Television sets, fridges, and generators.

GAIM Promo Season 4 is the 9th promo being embarked upon by the bank in the last 14 years.

Fidelity Bank commenced the savings promotion scheme in October 2019 and has so far conducted five draws.

Speaking at the final draw event held at the bank’s corporate head office in Lagos, on Thursday, Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer Mrs Nneka Oyeali-Ikpe said that in line with previous exercises, the bank has been using this savings campaign initiative to reward its teeming customers for their loyalty and patronage.

Represented by the Executive Director, Lagos &Southwest, Fidelity Bank Plc, Dr Ken Opara, Oyeali-Ikpe said that the phrase ‘It pays to save with Fidelity Bank’ has become deeply entrenched in the minds of the people and this savings campaign will in no small measure aid the growth of that consciousness.

“This promo encourages customers and members of the public to imbibe a savings culture, thus deepening financial inclusion, in line with the mandates of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

“There is no gainsaying the fact that the mobilization of domestic savings is indeed crucial for raising economic growth,” the MD/CEO stated.

Upon obtaining regulatory approval, the bank suspended the promo in March 2020 due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Electronic raffle draws were held for Lagos, North, Abuja, South West, South-South and South-East from which several categories of winners emerged.

For the biggest categories of N10 million, Justine Nwaozor of Suleja branch emerged as the winner out of 9,147 qualified accounts, while Sunday Okechukwu Okeke of the Matori branch in Lagos won the second N10 million out of 15, 886 qualified accounts.

Folashade Yetunde Ogunleye of Utako Market branch Abuja won N1 million out of 21,071 qualified accounts while Chinyere Gertrude Okeke of the University of Nigeria Nsukka branch emerged winner of N2 Million among others.

Based on the monthly and bi-monthly draws conducted, Fidelity Bank has rewarded 81 winners with a total of N63 Million and several consolation prizes won.

A total of 7,000 Customers of the bank have also received Airtime worth about N6,000,000.

The cash prizes won by customers are in the categories of N10million for 2 Winners, N3million for two Winners, N2million for two winners and N1million for nine winners, while gift items include: six Fridges, six Generators and six TV sets.

The bank said it has so far given out 120 Million in cash and 108 consolation prizes of TV sets, fridges, and generators worth N7.8million to 204 winners.

Listing the criteria for qualification, the head of savings and sales group Mr Ukpai Ibe explained that new customers are to grow their Fidelity bank account to N20,000 (without withdrawal for a month) while existing customers are to top-up account with N10,000 or more to qualify for monthly draws to win N2million, N1million and consolation prizes.

According to him, topping up a Fidelity bank account with N50,000 or more qualifies one for Bi-monthly draws to win N3million while N200,000 balance or more qualifiers one for the Grand draw to win N10million.

Representatives of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), and the Consumer Protection Commission (CPC) witnessed the draw and affirmed its transparency.
