OAB campaign receives widespread acclaim
MUSCAT: Oman Arab Bank (OAB) announced the successful implementation of its ‘The Power of 50’ promotional campaign, which was launched on September 15. The campaign was introduced to celebrate Oman’s 50th National Day, set to take place in November, and has seen immense positive feedback from the public.
Commenting on the success of the campaign, Rashad Al Shaikh, Acting Head of the Retail Banking Division at OAB, said, “We are delighted to witness the incredible number of people that have taken part in this campaign, especially since our main objective is spreading happiness, to all our valued customers and the citizens within the Sultanate. With the rise in participants and referrals, we believe that we are on the right path in carrying out this campaign, as we proudly celebrate the achievements of our country over the last 50 years, together with all of the Omani people.
On behalf of everyone here at OAB, I would like to welcome our new customers to the OAB family and look forward to enriching your experience with us.”
As part of the promotional campaign, the first 500 existing customers to refer a friend, acquaintance or family member to open an account at OAB via the OAB Online App will each receive a guaranteed cash prize of OMR 50. The first 500 customers to open an account with OAB and transfer their salary of OMR 500 or more will receive a guaranteed cash prize of OMR 50. In November, every OAB customer will have the opportunity to be a part of a special Hasaad draw for a chance to win one of the 50 prizes of OMR 500 each.
“I would like to encourage all our customers to continue in their efforts of referring their family members and friends, so that they can enter into the exclusive Hasaad draw during National Day, alongside new OAB account holders. Through this special draw, we aim to add value to our ongoing scheme, by not only inculcating a savings culture but giving more opportunities to a wider segment of new customers. I wish every one of you the best of luck. Additionally, I urge people within the community, who currently do not have an OAB account, to take advantage of this occasion and sign up during this campaign period. This way, they too can benefit from our integrated services and pioneering products,” Rashad added.
To facilitate convenience during the campaign, OAB’s Retail Division has introduced a new service window on the OAB online app that simplifies the new account nomination process. Existing customers can submit details of the person they are looking to nominate and the bank will conduct a follow-up to check whether the nominees are interested in opening an account. Upon approval, the account will be opened, with a cash prize of OMR 50 deposited to the new customer’s account when they transfer their salary, as well as the account of the existing customer. The campaign will last until November 18.
