Parallex Bank has rewarded customers with cash prizes, airtime, and other exciting gifts in the first draw of its nationwide Save and Win Promo, held in Warri, Delta State.

According to a statement from the bank on Tuesday, the first draw attracted hundreds of participants and notable dignitaries, including Benson Onyiyega, Akone of Warri Kingdom, Terry Ezeru, Efechukwu Awunli, Okoro Fidelis, among others.

Addressing the audience, the Branch Manager of Parallex Bank’s Warri branch, Mr Akanni Owolabi, explained that the promo was designed to encourage Nigerians to save.

To qualify, customers must deposit a minimum of N10,000 monthly for a chance to participate in the weekly and grand prize draws. The campaign runs nationwide from October 14, 2024, to April 14, 2025.

The Warri draw, which is the first in a series of planned events across Nigeria, recorded 24,328 verified customers, with 154 winners emerging.

Mrs Lucky David, who won the grand prize of N1m expressed disbelief when initially informed of her win, suspecting it might be a scam. “When I got the call that I won N1m, I doubted it and thought it was a scam. I came here to confirm, only to discover it was true,” she shared with excitement, thanking Parallex Bank for delivering on its promise and encouraging others to participate in the promo.

The Akone of Warri Kingdom praised the initiative, highlighting its dual benefits of fostering financial discipline and rewarding customer loyalty. He also commended the fairness and transparency of the draw.

Owolabi emphasised that the Save and Win Promo aligns with Parallex Bank’s mission to instil financial discipline while giving back to its customers.
