A
leading financial intermediary in The Gambia’s banking sector, GTBank was the
Bank of the Year 2015, awarded by the country’s private sector apex body - the
Gambia Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture and Employers’ Association
(GCCI).
GTBank
Gambia, which began operations in The Gambia in March 2002 has, over the years,
remained committed to providing professional banking services for various
facets of the Gambian economy.
The
GTBank Save and Win Deposit Mobilization campaign, as it name implies, is out
to mobilise more deposits for the bank, as it encourages a savings culture.
The
campaign was also initiated to give back to customers, who are stakeholders of
the bank.
The
campaign, which has a lot of goods and value for GTBank customers and the
unbanked in the country, is simply a “fulfilment of the Bank’s Corporate Social
Responsibility pledge” as a corporate citizen of The Gambia.
“A
grand raffle draw will be held at the end of the year, in which customers that
maintain balances of D500,000 or more in their GTBank Account could win one
HYUNDAI ACCENT Car [as first prize], a Return Ticket to Dubai for one plus
pocket money of $2,000 [as 2nd Price], and a Complete Luxury Sitting Room Sofa
Set [as 3rd Price],” said GTBank Gambia Executive Director and chairperson of
the mobilization campaign Mrs Isatou Jawara.
She
encouraged customers to keep saving with the bank, and try to always maintain
savings in their accounts that will make them qualify to be part of the draw
and subsequent winning prizes.
To
qualify for the grand finale, customers of the bank must have a minimum closing
balance of D500,000 or more for the duration of the promo.
Lucky
winners at the second presentation of prizes on Tuesday expressed strong
appreciation and good wishes for the bank.
“I
will continue to bank with Guaranty Trust Bank and even inform other people of
this country, who are not customers of this bank, to start banking with GTBank.
To me they are one of the best banks in this country; they are a good bank,”
said Mamjai Krubally, who represented her mum, Awa Jobe, one of the fridge
freezer winners.
“Guaranty
Trust Bank will always go to great lengths to ensure our customers are
satisfied at all times,” said GTBank’s corporate affairs officer, who moderated
the presentation ceremony.
