Lapo Microfinance Bank has rewarded its customers with amazing cash prizes in its raffle draw promo.
Lapo while rewarding it’s customers in a live draw that took place at it’s head office in Lagos said it organised the event to encourage savings culture among Nigerians.
At the promo, 170 winners got consolation prizes, and N500,000 was won by the star winner.
The Head, Corporate Planning Department, Lapo, Dorcas Thorpe, at the event said, it wanted the customers to bank with it.
According to her, “For the customers, they would rather go to commercial banks to save and come to microfinance banks to collect loans. So we wanted to change the perception that we are not just for credit, but we are also a bank and offer different financial services.
“That is why we want to use the promo to push savings culture among our customers and the public in general.”
She said, savings build resilience for the low income earners to fall back on in terms of emergencies.
Thorpe added, “From the winners, we want people to know there is benefit in savings and we want people to know that Lapo is a brand that has been there for more than 30 years.
“The amount you save with us is yours and the benefit is yours.”
She said Lapo launched the savings promo in November 2022 to run for three months, and the promo encouraged the customers to open a Lapo Savings Express account, and save a minimum of N10,000 monthly for three months to be one of the luck winners.
Thorpe said, over the last couple of months, 43,000 new accounts joined and there had been mobilisation of over N160m.
The star winner from a Yola branch, Sherifat Haruna, who sells foodstuff, plastic rubber and other delivery items, expressed her delight.
