This promotion gives us another opportunity in a different way to deepen this rewarding experience with our customers and at the same time instilling a culture of saving. “Wealth creation requires the commitment to save and one does not necessarily need large sums of money to start” With Ecobank we do both; give you discipline to save and a chance to realize your dream. 

Being a Pan African bank, we have made similar impact in countries in West, Central and Eastern Africa and would like to do the same here in Tanzania. We don’t just want to advertise ourselves, but also impact the lives of the people we are here to serve in a special way- which is why we are launching this customer engagement promotion. It will give us the opportunity to create a win-win situation for us and our current as well as prospective customers'.

 

                Mr Cantamantu-Koomson added, ‘At the moment we have 5 branches in Dar Es Salaam and plans are well afoot to soon open branches in Arusha and Mwanza. The WIN BIG WITH ECOBANK promotion will increase awareness of the Ecobank brand in the Tanzanian market while also increasing our customer base. Our existing customers will also be delighted since we have not left them out.’
