Sohar International announces winners of Sohar 1 Prize Scheme

MUSCAT: Sohar International conducted the second round of weekly draws under the new Sohar 1 Prize Scheme for 2019 which was recently launched under the theme ‘Now That’s Winning’.

The second weekly draws, held at Sohar International’s Al Khaboora Branch under the auspices of Sheikh Hassan Ali Al Fairouz and attendance of many customers from Wilayat of Al Khaboora, saw four lucky customers walking away with OMR1,000 each under the General Segment as well as five lucky winners from the Minor Accounts Segment having received OMR500 split equally between them.

Khalil Salim Al Hedaifi, Chief Retail Banking Officer at Sohar International stressed on the importance of the prize scheme in promoting a strong savings culture in Oman. The objective he noted is multifaceted; it helps to instill prudent finance management practices in the society while also rewarding lucky winners with cash prizes that can drastically change their lives. He said, “Our prize scheme has been growing in popularity each passing year. It is encouraging to see that our schemes have made a visible positive impact on the savings habit of many customers, and have now increased their opportunities to win in the Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly and Year-End grand draws.”

The attractive weekly prizes are designed to give constant incentives to customers to start saving. Eligibility to these weekly draws is a minimum average balance of OMR100 in the last 30 days before the draws. Highlighting the theme of the new Prize Scheme, Khalil Al Hedaifi added: “The new Sohar 1 Prize Scheme for this year reflects Sohar International’s customercentric philosophy to help them win and achieve their ambitions, and hence the prize scheme’s theme ‘Now That’s Winning ’. With two weekly draws already rewarding 18 customers, we are looking forward to the third weekly draws for a total of OMR4,500 and also the upcoming monthly draws with a total prize of OMR107,000.”
