This account is a savings extra and that means that as you are saving, you also have the opportunity to also win. And also this draw is for our loyal customers who have been saving money; this draw gives you the opportunity to win. So this promo is a way we encourage people to save and also give back to the society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buttressing Ofikulu\u2019s point, head, consumer liability products, Osita Ede, said that DiamondXtra Season 10 promised bigger and better rewards for the customers of the Bank, saying that the DiamondXtra draws rewarded a total of 1,016 customers out of which the star winner of a brand-new car emerged. \u201cThe DiamondXtra reward scheme is open to new and existing customers and all you need to do is to visit the nearest Diamond Bank branch, open a DiamondXtra account and fund it with N5,000. The more the multiples of N5,000 you save, the higher your chances of winning.\u2019\u2019 He assured customers that the bank would constantly seek robust platforms and initiative such as this to reward their loyalty.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-28702\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image001-2-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image001-2-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image001-2-110x70.jpg 110w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image001-2-420x268.jpg 420w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image001-2-674x430.jpg 674w, https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/sub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/image001-2.jpg 704w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A representative of the KPMG, the audit firm in charge of the validation process, in her address assured that a regulated process was put in place for picking eventual winners and those qualified for the promo, adding that the winners were selected from a pool of electronic tickets belonging to DiamondXtra Savings subscribers who had balances in the account.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>The Bank encouraged customers to cultivate the savings culture because that is what the Diamond SavingsXtra account seeks to promote, stating that Diamond Bank Plc would not relent in its efforts to create mutually beneficial relationships between the bank and customers through its services and offerings.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Photo Captions:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>1.
