LAPO Microfinance Bank has rewarded 101 of its customers with cash prizes totaling N5 million in the season two of its Xpress Savings Promo which saw it pull in over N1.8 billion in deposit during the period.

Speaking at the draw which was held in Lagos yesterday, Head Corporate Planning at LAPO Microfinance Bank, Dorcas Thrope noted that the season two of the promo had seen more participation with the bank seeing a N1.8 billion savings by customers in the three months duration of the promo.

At the end of the draw, 100 customers were rewarded with a consolation prize of N40,000 cash each while the star prize winner received a cash prize of N1 million. She explained that to qualify, customers only need to save N10,000 every month for three months with a balance of N30,000 at the end of the three month period.

Thrope stated that “when we started this promo season one we had roughly about 50,000 customers. Season two promo has seen more customers come on board and also even in terms of the savings so For this promo we did over N1.8 billion savings in three months. And that for us was very impressive.

“This showed us a lot of people who didn’t know that you could save with LAPO now and we are a very safe place for the funds and then beyond just savings, we are able to also compensate and say thank you for saving. So, season two has been really good for us and we were looking forward to season three.
