Independence promo: Union Bank to reward customers

In commemoration of Nigeria’s 60th Independence anniversary, Union Bank has announced plans to reward its customers in an Independence promotion that will run during this October.

The promo is part of the bank’s efforts to acknowledge and reward the indefatigable, enduring Nigerian spirit, and celebrate both new and existing customers during this special season.

As part of the campaign, each weekday in October, the first 60 customers to activate their debit cards and spend a minimum of N1,000 will receive a N2,000 cash-back reward. In addition, the promo offers all Union Bank customers ‘Independence from Charges’, throughout October, as they will enjoy zero fees on bill payments made via the UnionMobile App or the Bank’s USSD Code, *826#.

While unveiling the Independence Campaign, the bank’s head of Retail Banking and Digital, Lola Cardoso, praised Nigerians for their tenacity and focus, despite often tough conditions. She explained that the promo is a part of Union Bank’s efforts to reward her customers as they celebrate Nigeria’s 60th Independence anniversary.

According to Cardoso, “Union Bank is excited to give back to her customers through this Independence Promo. This month, as we celebrate Nigeria at 60, it presents a wonderful opportunity to reward our customers in ways that matter, as we continue to deliver products and services that enable them to achieve their personal and business goals.”

The Independence promo offer is open to both existing and new Union Bank customers. Prospective customers can now open Union Bank accounts at their convenience via the UnionMobile App, or by visiting the nearest Union Bank branch.

Union Bank remains committed to providing simpler, smarter services and enabling success for the average Nigerian.
