This year we are putting more smiles on more faces with even more amazing rewards up for grabs. In this year’s promo, customers stand the chance to win double, triple, and even quadruple their salary back.”

“All you need to do is have a salary account with Ecobank. This is specially designed for employers and employees to make payments and receive salaries easily and conveniently. The wonderful thing about this salary account is that it is very convenient and has more bene ts that give customers more value for their money. Simply open an account from the comfort of your home on our digital platforms or walk into any of our branches nationwide and stand a chance of participating in this exciting promotion and be part of our lucky winners,” he added.

Dr. Botchway also warned customers to be careful and stay vigilant against the activities of fraudsters. He said, “I want to encourage you all to stay alert and be very vigilant. Do not be deceived by any fraudster. Ecobank will not ask you for any personal details before you win any reward. We will also not require any form of payment before you receive your prize. The lucky winners will only see their cash rewards re ected in their bank account balance. Customers will only be contacted to be informed and congratulated on their prizes. Do not be deceived by anyone. If you are uncertain about anything kindly visit any of our 68 branches across the country, call us, or visit our website.”

A representative from the National Lottery Association (NLA), Bernard Boamah, thanked the Ecobank for its partnership with the Caritas platform. He said, “When companies like Ecobank use the Caritas platform from the NLA, we are able to generate proceeds for the Good Causes Foundation (GCF) which is used to develop various parts of the society. Therefore, indirectly with our partnership with Ecobank, we are touching lives across the country and we are grateful to them for their continued usage of the Caritas lottery platform. I encourage you all to be part of this so that you can enjoy all these wonderful life-changing rewards.”

The Ecobank Double Salary Promotion was launched in January 2022 as a way of rewarding the bank’s existing and new customers for their loyalty. The rst edition of the promo saw 240 customers win double the value of their pay cheques in all three draws. Aside the double salaries, there are several consolation prizes to be won throughout the promotion.
