Another one is if you top up your savings account with N200,000 you will qualify for N10 million draw while for children’s savings account, the child is qualified for N150,000 draw.
“For new account openers, just have about N20,000 and you are qualified for N500,000 draw. This is approved by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to reward our loyal customers”, he said.
