Increase awareness coupled with improved business
environment on financial services is the reason behind the enlarged investments
in the banking industry.
This was unveiled in Dar es Salaam by Mr Samuel Mkuyu, the
Barclays Bank’s Head of Retail Products, Channels and Analytics at the launch
of Maisha bomba with Barclays Golden Briefcase campaign to its customers.
The increased number of banks and financial institutions in
the country to 51 according to the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) statistics is a
positive sign of the improved business climate which is creating healthy
competitions as well as improved financial services.
Similarly, the available data show that about 15 per cent of
Tanzanians have access to various financial services in the country.
“It is in
the same business environment that Barclays bank with more than 110,000
clients, 22 branches and 41 ATM s located strategically countrywide, is
providing a range of products to ensure highest customers contentment,” he
said.
During the three-month campaign in which the grand price
winner will walk away with 10/-, Barclays bank will mobilise customers to win
different prizes on a monthly basis.
“Upon depositing and maintaining the
threshold, the new and existing customer will enter into a draw where 13
customers will get varied prizes including iPads, shopping vouchers worth
200,000/-, washing machines and home theatres,” he said.
The Barclays’ Acting Consumer banking director, Mr Musa
Kitoi, said the entry was open to retail customers, both existing and
prospective having deposits accounts with the financial facility.
The eligible
customers are supposed to have at least 500,000/- in their account.
