Bank takes savings product to higher institutions

Wema Bank Plc is promoting savings culture with its Purple Savings Account which targets the youths, especially new students from many of the higher institutions across the country.

The bank participated in the orientation programmes for new students of Lagos State University (LASU); Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State; the Federal University OyeEkiti, among others.

Speaking during the LASU 2017 Orientation Programme, held at the main campus, Ojo, Wema Bank Regional Manager, Apapa, Femi Olowoyeye, said the lender was partnering with the school to boost students’ digital banking experiences and offer quality services.

Olowoyeye said: “We are hosting the orientation programme for the second time because of the partnership the bank has with LASU which we hope would continue for many years to come. One catch-it young strategy allows us get into the campus, encourage students to open an account, save their money. Everyone that complies wins something instantly which ranges from 32 inches LCD television, smart phones, among other prizes,” he said.

LASU Vice Chancellor, Prof. Olanrewaju Adigun Fagbohun, urged the students to face their books and become good ambassadors of the school. He appreciated the partnership between LASU and Wema Bank and urged other corporate bodies to follow the Wema Bank’s example.
