The Head, Retail Banking Group, Skye Bank, Nkolika Okoli, was quoted as saying that the scheme was instituted by the bank to encourage savings culture in the mass market segment.

Nkolika added, “Skye Bank is not just encouraging customers to save, but we are also rewarding customers for choosing us since they have other options. In the end, the scheme is a win-win for both our esteemed customers and Skye Bank as we seek to grow our customer base.”

The statement noted that representatives from the National Lottery Regulatory Commission and Lagos State Lottery Commission were present at the draws.

The statement quoted Mr. Donatus Okoro, a winner of the N1m category from last month’s draw as saying, “I am not only happy for this opportunity that I have to win N1m in the promo, but deeply appreciative of Skye bank, for this initiative encouraging masses to grow and better their lives.

“I am indebted to Skye Bank for changing my story. I have started telling my friends to bank with Skye Bank, in order to enjoy exclusive benefits and opportunities such as this.”

The ‘Reach for the Skye Millionaire’ savings scheme, according to the bank, is aimed to drive a savings culture while also doubling as a CSR initiative anchored on the premise of building a long lasting relationship with its savings customers based on trust.

“It also supports the government’s financial inclusion policy so as to bring a lot more people into the financial system and the formal economy,” the statement added.

The scheme, which began in July, is expected to run for a year.
