MUSCAT, 24 February 2010 – The excitement of all-new al Mazyona savings scheme from BankMuscat offering daily, monthly and jackpot prizes every 4 months was experienced by Al Khoudh branch customers. The popular al Mazyona scheme is the first in a series of innovative services and products launched by BankMuscat as part of its ‘Oman Celebrates’ campaign coinciding with the Sultanate’s 40th Renaissance anniversary under the leadership of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos.
Sulaiman Bin Ali Bin Salim Al Khadhouri was the guest of honour at the ceremony attended by a group of select branch customers and senior bank officials. Al Khadhouri picked the daily prize winners of RO 4,000 and Double-Your-Salary scheme and monthly prize winner of RO 40,000.
Ahmed Noor Al Balushi, Branch Manager, said: “BankMuscat is delighted to provide yet another opportunity for members of the largest banking family in Oman to witness and participate in al Mazyona draw programme. By far, al Mazyona is the most attractive savings rewards programme in the Sultanate with a bonanza of high-value daily prizes lined up for the entire year.”
BankMuscat offers a daily prize of RO 4000, which will be available to all customers maintaining a minimum balance of RO 100. The Bank has introduced a new monthly prize of RO 40,000. Customers maintaining a minimum balance of RO 1000 get chances to participate in the daily and monthly draws. The climax of al Mazyona is a jackpot prize of RO 400,000 to be announced every four months for customers who maintain a minimum balance of RO 1000 for at least 3 months. Keeping in mind the significance of the year, one of these jackpot prizes will be given out on the 40th National Day.
In line with the emphasis by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos for progress of women in the country, BankMuscat will offer 40 prizes of RO 400 each, exclusively for ladies on the National Day, in addition to existing prize schemes for which they will be eligible by maintaining the required balance.
In conjunction with this segment, special prizes of RO 400 each will be given to children born on the National Day through al Mazyona Children’s account. The gesture towards future citizens of Oman is in addition to 10 monthly prizes of RO 100 each for customers maintaining the required balance.
The Bank has retained the ‘Double-Your-Salary’ scheme which was launched in 2009. The scheme entitles customers maintaining a salary account with the Bank to win daily a free bonus salary. There are no pre-conditions attached to the scheme, except that the salary must be transferred to any BankMuscat branch in Oman. The prize scheme is open to all customers with a minimum monthly salary of RO 250. While there is no maximum salary amount which can be transferred to the Bank, the maximum bonus salary a customer can win is limited to RO 2000 per day.
In order to maintain the tradition of providing complete transparency of the scheme, al Mazyona prize draws are held at public places and certified by external auditors.
