Combank ‘Double Wasi’ offers remittance customers a chance to win Rs 2.2mn

The upcoming ‘Avurudu’ season will bring good fortune every day to the recipients of remittances via Commercial Bank of Ceylon, with the launch of the bank’s ‘Double Wasi’ promotion, offering 22 customers the opportunity to double the amount they receive, up to a maximum of Rs.100,000 each.

On each of the 22 days ending April 15, one lucky remittance customer of the bank stands the chance of winning a cash prize, from the total of Rs.2.2 million set aside for prizes, the bank said.

Recipients of money via Combank Remitplus – the remittance services of the bank – and customers receiving money through the bank’s remittance partners such as Moneygram, Western Union and Ria Money Transfer, will automatically be entered into the draw.

Every customer who receives remittances directly to a Commercial Bank acount during the promotion period and those who collect the remitted cash from a branch close to them will be presented one opportunity to enter the Double Wasi draw, the bank said.

Additionally, the holders of a Commercial Bank Remittance Card – a branded debit cum ATM card – will have the privilege of doubling their chances of winning, as the bank will enter their names twice into the draw on the day they receive the remittance.

Further to the promotion, those who receive direct remittances via Commercial Bank will enjoy an additional Rs.2 on the conversion of every United States dollar or the equivalent in the currency they receive, the bank said.

Commercial Bank launched the promotion to encourage direct remittances to the bank. The lucky winners of the daily draws will be presented their cash prizes after the conclusion of the promotion.
