In anticipation of the grand celebration of its 80th anniversary, Wema Bank, Nigeria’s most innovative bank and pioneer of Africa’s first fully digital bank, ALAT, has rewarded 80 customers in the 80th daily draw of the Wema Bank 5 for 5 Promo Season 4. This draw took place on February 27, 2025, at the Wema Bank Head Office Facility in Lagos.
Launched in 2021, the 5 for 5 Promo is Wema Bank’s dedicated avenue for demonstrating its gratitude to its customers for their loyalty, support and patronage of the Bank and its products. Since its launch, the Promo has disbursed over N150,000,000 to Wema Bank customers across Nigeria in the first three seasons. Raising the bar with N135,000,000 set for disbursement in just one season, Wema Bank kicked off Season 4 on October 1, 2024, rewarding 64 customers as Nigeria clocked 64.
In the last 4 months, over 2,000 Wema Bank customers have won cash prizes of up to N1,000,000 each across daily, weekly and monthly draws, with 522 winners emerging across 4 monthly draws, 800 winners emerging across 16 weekly draws and over 900 winners emerging across 80 daily draws so far. This season has, by far, been the biggest season yet, with almost three times the prizes and winners recorded across all other seasons combined.
With Wema Bank’s 80th anniversary coming up on May 2nd, 2025, the Bank decided to commemorate the 80th daily draw by rewarding 80 customers with cash prizes. Introducing a unique twist to the daily draws, the 80th daily draw featured a live audience in the studio for the first time ever, capturing real-time expressions of joy and fulfillment as the draw revealed the 80 lucky winners for the day.
Presenting the cheques to the winners from the live audience, Wema Bank’s Executive Director of Retail and Digital Business, Tunde Mabawonku, emphasised Wema Bank’s commitment to empowering lives and providing a rewarding and fulfilling banking experience for its customers. According to him, “Wema Bank has grown immensely since 1945 till date, and our best years are still ahead of us. We do not take for granted the role of our customers in our 80-year journey, and the 80th daily draw presented another opportunity to celebrate Wema at 80 by rewarding 80 customers, and we are honoured that our customers took the needed steps to participate”.
“The rewards are endless and limitless for us at Wema Bank, and we will never relent in providing a rewarding banking experience for our customers and delivering optimum value to every stakeholder. To every customer that has won in the Wema Bank 5 for 5 Promo so far, including the special 80th daily draw, I say a huge congratulations. We have set aside N135,000,000 for disbursement this season and we are just 4 months in with six more to go. I encourage every Wema Bank customer to keep funding their accounts and transacting using our alternative channels, which are the ALAT App, our USSD code *945# and the Wema/ALAT debit card. There is room for everyone on the Wema Bank 5 for 5 Promo and we look forward to rewarding more customers as the season progresses”, Mabawonku concluded.
The Wema Bank 5 for 5 Promo has grown to become a beacon of hope to millions of Nigerians across Nigeria, meeting urgent and long-term needs with surprise credit alerts and rewards.
