Union Bank Rewards Users for use over Debit Card.

After over three months of campaign to encourage the use of debit cards Union Bank Plc has rewarded customers that heeded the call and activated their cards.

In the draw which involved over 100,000 customers that activated their debit cards nationwide within the period of the promotion, a school teacher at Aba, Miss Lucy Uwaezu Udeogu, emerged the lucky winner of the grand prize of a trip to Dubai.

But Udeogu, who teaches civic education/social studies at Brilliant Model Schools Aba, was apparently reluctant to undertake the trip to Dubai and was consequently awarded N250, 000 in lieu of what could have been her maiden trip outside the shores of Nigeria.

At the reward ceremony held at the Union Bank Ngwa Road branch, Aba the grand prize winner was presented with a cheque for the sum of N250, 000 by the group head, Aba retail cluster, in person of Mr. Friday Okosun.

According to a statement from the bank, four lucky customers who emerged as first prize winners got a generator each, four others who were drawn as second prize winners were given a deep freezer each while those in the third prize category shared four units of television sets.

In his remarks during the presentation, the group head,Abia retail cluster,  Okosun, said the award of the grand prize to the lucky winner was the climax of the promotion exercise which has prompted many of the bank’s customers to activate and start using their debit cards.

“We’re encouraging people to use debit cards,” he said, adding that the campaign would be a continuous exercise given that some people tend to be resistant to change.

Okosun advised bank customers to imbibe the habit of using debit cards in banking transactions because of its convenience and time-saving.
