She also encouraged customers to continue banking with Fidelity Bank to enjoy more promos.

She stated, "It is as a sign of our heartfelt appreciation to you, our customers, that we put together this promotion.

"Indeed, in doing so, we sought to kill two birds with one stone: firstly, to say a big thank you for your support over the last 15 years, and secondly, to instil the habit of regular savings among our customers."

She added, "As a bank, Fidelity Bank remains customer-focused and committed to helping our customers save more, acquire in-depth financial literacy, and achieve financial independence to pursue their dreams.

"This is what drives us to keep coming up with thoughtful and innovative promotions such as this, as well as relevant products and services that are tailor-made to meet your specific needs."

 She said, "This is like a dream come true. To think that I didn’t even have to lift a finger to win a whopping GH¢100,000 is a great feeling.

"Indeed, Fidelity Bank, today you’ve made me understand that your statement ‘Believe with us’ is not just a tagline but a promise. I am most grateful and highly elated."
