The Managing Director of GCB Bank PLC, Farihan Alhassan, has announced that five customers of the bank will receive fully sponsored trips to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States and Canada.
He said this during the grand finale of the bank’s “Pa to Pa Promo” campaign held in Accra last Friday.
He said the initiative formed part of the bank’s “Pa to Pa Promo” campaign aimed at encouraging customers to develop a consistent savings culture, while rewarding their loyalty.
Reward
Speaking at the grand finale of the promotion in Accra, Mr Alhassan said the campaign, launched in December last year, had rewarded customers across the country with prizes including television sets, refrigerators, ovens, mobile phones and other household appliances.
He explained that the winners were selected through a transparent lucky draw organised in partnership with the National Lottery Authority (NLA) on the Caritas platform.
The 10 winners for March walked away with prizes including Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 devices, 43-inch TCL Smart TVs, 550 to 600-litre frost-free fridges, 55-inch TCL Smart TVs, 300-litre Nasco chest freezers, 15-kilogramme Samsung washing machines, 2.5-horsepower Zara air conditioners, five-burner gas cookers with ovens, LG washing machines with dryers and Samsung double-door fridges.
For the month of April, winners from the sixth to the 10th positions received prizes such as Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 devices, LG home theatres, TCL chest freezers, Nasco chest freezers and 65-inch TCL Smart TVs.
The top five winners received an all-expenses-paid trip to watch the World Cup in the United States and Canada.
“Our top five customers over the past five months will each receive a fully sponsored trip to the United States and Canada to cheer on the Black Stars of Ghana at the global football tournament,” he said.
He added, “We are paying for their visas, we are paying for their tickets, we are paying for their transport, we are paying for their accommodation.”
Savings culture
Mr Alhassan said the campaign was designed to help customers save towards important life goals such as weddings, vacations, education and travel.
“When we launched this campaign in December, our goal was very simple as a bank, to encourage you to save for the things that matter,” he said.
He added that the overwhelming response from customers over the five-month period demonstrated growing confidence in the bank and the importance of financial discipline.
“At the GCB Bank, we believe banking should do more than just moving money around. It should help us achieve our dreams, reward our customers’ loyalty and create moments our customers remember for a lifetime,” he said.
Mr Alhassan thanked customers for trusting the bank with their savings and assured them of more reward campaigns in the future.
The Executive Head of Retail Banking at the GCB Bank, Richard Wobil, said the “Pa to Pa Promo” campaign was not only about prizes but also about financial empowerment.
“It’s been about helping our customers take control of their financial futures, one deposit at a time,” he said.
Mr Wobil said customers from across the country embraced the campaign and consistently saved to qualify for the rewards.
