Access Bank, one of Nigeria’s largest banks and most valuable brands, recently rewarded a lucky customer with a brand-new SUV as part of the ongoing 16th season of the DiamondXtra promo.
During the official presentation event at the bank’s Head Office in Lagos, Onyeamechi Uchenna Modestus, an Owerri-based businessman and DiamondXtra Account holder, received the keys to a brand-new GAC GS3 SUV. The DiamondXtra savings and reward account has been delivering attractive prizes to its loyal customers, with this car giveaway being a highlight of the quarterly promotions. DiamondXtra is a special hybrid interest-yielding account that allows customers to deposit cash and third-party cheques. This season, Access Bank has taken customer engagement to new heights, offering prizes totaling N200 million, including three SUVs and other enticing rewards.
Expressing his gratitude, the lucky winner Onyemechi said:
“I felt that it was a prank. I couldn’t believe it when I got a call from Access Bank that I won a car from DiamondXtra. I was skeptical, thinking it was one of those scams asking for bank details. Thankfully, the lady who called didn’t give up. She convinced me to come to Lagos for the official handover. Now, I’m here, and it’s real. I am happy and this car will ease my movement, boost my business, and elevate my personal status. If you don’t have a DiamondXtra account, you are missing out on great opportunities to win amazing prizes.”
Robert Giles, Senior Retail Advisor, Retail Banking, Access Bank, congratulated the winner and emphasized the bank’s commitment to rewarding its customers:
“DiamondXtra has been rewarding customers since 2008 with various prizes, including cash. Our customers wanted more than just cash; they wanted life-changing experiences. This year, we are rewarding three winners with a brand-new SUV. This is the first SUV of the year from the DiamondXtra program. The bank aims to promote a culture of savings, helping customers build intergenerational wealth and better their lives. For every N5,000 saved, customers get an entry into a prize draw to win cash prizes or life-changing experiences like winning a car. With over 5 million customers saving with DiamondXtra, the impact on people’s lives is significant.”
Njideka Esomeju, Group Head, Consumer Banking, Access Bank, highlighted the program’s impact:
“DiamondXtra has impacted at least a million lives and is monitored by the National Lottery Commission. This year, we surveyed our over 5 million DiamondXtra customers to determine their preferences for rewards. We have two more cars left to give away this year, along with regional draws where customers can win cash prizes ranging from N20,000 to N200,000. The ongoing season has seen numerous customers rewarded during on-site draws across the country.”
DiamondXtra is an interest-yielding hybrid account combining savings and current account features. Over the past 15 years, the DiamondXtra reward scheme has given away over N6.5 billion in cash and household items to over 15,000 loyal customers. New and existing customers can qualify for DiamondXtra Season 16 by opening a DiamondXtra savings account with just N5,000 by dialing *901*5# or visiting any Access Bank branch. The more multiples of N5,000 saved, the higher the chances of winning in the monthly, quarterly, and annual draws.
