NMB MasterBata 4th edition to boost customers’ incomes

THE fourth edition of the NMB Bank MastaBata digital payment campaign is underway following its launch in Mbeya last weekend with part of the 350m/- prize package earmarked to uplift customers of the lender economically.

The winners of the competition dubbed NMB MastaBata Kote-Kote will be empowered through 173m/- in prize money and 14 brand new motorcycles.

The bank’s Chief Retail Banking Filbert Mponzi said the two rewards are expected to help boost the incomes of winning customers.

Instead of promoting NMB Mastercard and Masterpass QR cards (Lipa mkononi) alone, he explained, the bank is also according to customers the opportunity to improve their economic welfare and status.

“Unlike last year, this time around we have also decided to have cash prizes together with motorcycles and the reason for that is that we don’t want to promote the use of NMB digital cards only,” he noted in his remarks.

“We also want to be agents of economic change for our customers because we believe the motorcycles are going to be used in business and thereafter generate more income for our winners,”

The promotion’s jackpot will be a four-trip to Dubai for seven winners and their partners. There will be also weekly and monthly raffles during the 10 weeks campaign.

“A total of 350m/- will be won as prizes by 854 lucky winners during the campaign,” he noted adding that the promotion principally seeks to share the bank’s profitability with its loyal customers.

Every week, 75 customers will each pocket 100,000/- that adds up to 7.5 million, which will amount to some 75m/- when the promotion winds up in January 2023.

At the end of every 28 days for two consecutive months, 49 winners will each scoop 1m/-leading to 49m/-being won during every raffle and 98m/-after the two draws.

Every week a motorcycle will be won and two every month bringing the number to 14 at the end of the promotion.

Mbeya District Commissioner Dr Rashid Chuachua graced it on behalf of the Regional Commissioner, Mr Juma Homera.

According to the DC, the investment NMB was making in the campaign was the right thing to do in the contemporary world of digital finance and an increasingly less cash global economy.
