By Richard Kofi Attenkah
Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited has presented a return ticket to Mr. Steven Kwesi Anim, a businessman, to go and watch Ghana Black Stars in action at the forthcoming world soccer fiesta to be staged in Brazil.
Mr. Kwesi Anim was the top swiper during the “Swipe to Brazil” competition, which was opened to customers of the bank for over two months.
It will be recalled that on February 12, 2014, Stanbic Bank outdoored new visa cards for its customers to use in purchasing and paying for goods and services by swiping at any of the bank’s point of sale, and that the top swiper would get a return ticket to Brazil.
Head of Personal and Business Banking Mr. Benjamin Mensah told the Tema File in an interview that the visa cards are secure and save a person from the stress of having to carry cash around, saying, “all you need is your card in your wallet.”
Mr. Benjamin Mensah said: “The visa card allows you to easily track your spending, thereby helping you to plan your finances better”.
He disclosed that there were an increasing number of merchants in Ghana, who are into businesses such as restaurants, shopping malls and hotels among others, who can accept payment on their point of sale devices.
“You can pay with your card to over 24 million merchants worldwide,” he explained.
Mr. Benjamin Mensah assured customers of the bank that there is no fee when a person purchases and pays for goods and services with the Stanbic Visa card.
He assured customers of the bank, who have been using their visa cards till date, not to give up or feel discounted, saying they should continue to swipe and get the chance to win handsome prizes.
“There will be another draw next week to pick our final winner,” he revealed.
He urged the customers to swipe more and increase their chances of winning, saying, “Just make it a habit to pay for most of your purchases with your visa cards, and you must also ensure that you swipe a total of not less than GH¢500 over a three-month period to increase your chances of winning,” he noted.
