In a gesture of appreciation for customers’ loyalty, Access Bank, in its 17th DiamondXtra ‘Salary for Life’ promo in Jos, has rewarded the grand prize winner, Abdurman Idris, with N200,000 monthly salary for 15 years. The bank also rewarded many other loyal customers with other life-changing cash prizes.

Idris, a labourer from Rekos quarters in Jos, expressed excitement over the gesture saying: “I am very excited about the gesture, and I promise that I’m going to use the money to start up a business.”

His win is expected to have a positive impact on his life and business prospects, enabling him to achieve his dreams and improve his socio-economic status.

Another winner, Bitkat Dimlong Mbok, a civil servant working with Jos North Local Government Area, won N200,000 cash prize. Mbok, who received the message about the draw and was initially hesitant to attend, said: “I told my wife to pray for me, and I’m happy I won.”

He plans to use the money to invest in his housing project, and has promised to open three other DiamondXtra accounts for his children, further solidifying his commitment to financial planning. “Access times, Access Bank”, he praised, expressing his gratitude to the bank.

The Regional Manager for Plateau State, Rosemary Oyedim, explained that the DiamondXtra ‘Salary for Life’ promo is not just a promo, but a reward scheme that has been consistently running for 17 seasons. “Access Bank is passionate about its customers, and this scheme is a way of giving back to the community. The scheme aims to create loyalty ambassadors who can help build a customer base. When people hear that Access Bank is willing to give back to the community, it attracts them to bank with the institution,” she said.

Oyedim further stated that customers are always excited to know they’re part of a system that rewards loyalty, and the scheme aims to create loyalty ambassadors who can help build a customer base.

“The winner of the Salary for Life promo will be engaged, enlightened, and become an ambassador for the bank, helping to attract others, including family and friends, to bank with them,” she said.

Also, the Regional Director of Access Bank, North Central, Uche Onyegwe, gave a history of the scheme, stating that since its inception, over 30,000 customers have been rewarded, and over N6 billion has been given to loyal customers. “People who won never knew they were going to win. We didn’t know them until today. They just came here and luckily they won,” he said, highlighting the transparency and fairness of the selection process.

Onyegwe encouraged customers to save more, comparing the grand prize to being above the minimum wage, underscoring financial inclusivity and empowerment. “Open a Diamond Xtra account, fund it, and key into it,” he advised, highlighting the bank’s culture of improving customers’ saving habits. He also announced that other draws are expected to happen in November, depending on the location, giving more customers a chance to win.

The winners’ reactions and the bank officials’ remarks underscore the impact of Access Bank’s DiamondXtra ‘Salary for Life’ promo in promoting financial inclusion and rewarding loyal customers. As Access Bank continues to reward its customers, it reinforces its commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of Nigerians, one customer at a time.
