By Sahr Ibrahim Komba

232news- A Call to Business (ACTB), one of Sierra Leone’s longstanding microfinance institutions, has rewarded five customers with valuable prizes following the first monthly draw of its “Save and Win” promotion.

The draw, which covered customers who saved during July, was held at ACTB’s headquarters in Freetown in the presence of staff, guests, media representatives and an auditor.

The promotion was launched by ACTB on July 13 to encourage customers to develop a consistent savings culture while giving them opportunities to win prizes every month.

Speaking during the event, ACTB Marketing Manager Rockslyn Alwyn Findlay said the promotion was introduced to provide customers with additional benefits for saving with the Bank.

He explained that customers who open an account at any ACTB branch and save at least NLe10,000 qualify for the monthly draw.

Findlay said the promotion will run until January 31, 2027, with four consolation prizes and one star prize available every month.

The prizes include a brand-new four-burner gas cooker, juice blender, 43-inch smart television and DSTV set. The star prize for the first monthly draw was a 900 BTU air conditioner.

For the July draw, Donald Pearce, customer number 000150734 from ACTB’s Freetown Headquarters branch, won the brand-new four-burner gas cooker.

George Alimamy Kabba from Makeni won the 43-inch smart television and expressed his happiness after being informed that he had emerged as one of the lucky winners.

The third winner, Olive Sheku from Bo, won the DSTV set. She has been an ACTB customer for close to one year.

Sheku Kamara of Freetown emerged as the fourth consolation-prize winner, taking home the juice blender.

The star prize for the first month, a 900 BTU air conditioner, was won by Verola’s K and R (SL) Limited, a customer of ACTB’s Wellington branch, making the company the biggest winner in the inaugural monthly draw.

Findlay said this year’s Save and Win promotion is bigger than last year’s edition because ACTB has introduced a star prize, which was not included in the previous promotion.

He said the Bank was pleased to create more opportunities for customers to benefit from their savings.

According to Findlay, customers qualify for the monthly draw by opening an account with ACTB and saving at least NLe10,000. Customers who maintain their savings pattern and reach NLe60,000 will also qualify for the grand draw at the end of the promotion.

The grand draw will feature a major prize of a brand-new Changan SUV valued at US$25,000, alongside other consolation prizes.

Findlay encouraged customers to continue saving throughout the promotional period to increase their chances of winning the grand prize.

He stressed that the promotion is exclusively for ACTB customers and that Bank staff and their immediate family members are prohibited from participating.

He added that all data entered into the draw had been certified and verified before the selection process.

The names and customer numbers of eligible participants were placed in a mixing chamber before the five winners were randomly selected.

The draw was conducted transparently in the presence of media representatives and an auditor, ensuring that the selection process was independently witnessed and verifiable.

A Call to Business (ACTB) has grown into one of Sierra Leone’s longstanding microfinance institutions, providing financial services designed to support individuals, entrepreneurs, businesses and communities.

The Bank continues to promote savings and financial inclusion through products and initiatives aimed at helping customers manage and grow their finances.

Through the Save and Win promotion, ACTB is combining its savings services with customer rewards, giving customers an added incentive to save regularly while creating opportunities to win valuable prizes.

Findlay urged existing and prospective customers to visit any ACTB branch, open an account and begin saving to participate in the remaining monthly draws.

He said ACTB remains committed to putting smiles on the faces of its customers and rewarding them for maintaining a strong savings culture.

The Save and Win promotion will continue until January 31, 2027, with qualifying customers having monthly opportunities to win prizes and a chance to compete for the grand prize at the end of the promotion.
