VICTORIA, Seychelles — Absa Bank Seychelles has brought its ‘Play Your Cards Right’ campaign to a grand finale, rewarding the final five lucky customers with R50,000 each in a celebration that marked the end of the journey. Each of the five winners — Claudine Esparon, Thilina Mudiyanselage, Fiona Waye-Hive, Kathamuthui Kalasamy and Patrick Bonne who was absent — were recognised for their consistent and empowered use of Absa Debit and Absa Credit Cards, a testament to how simple, everyday transactions can translate into remarkable rewards.
The final prize-giving ceremony, held at the Capital City building on Friday morning, brought together members of Absa Bank Seychelles’ management team, alongside colleagues from the retail and marketing departments, who warmly congratulated the winners. The ‘Play Your Cards Right’ campaign, which spanned three months, allowed customers who conducted 10 or more transactions with their Absa cards to be automatically entered into the monthly draws. Additional entries were also obtained through digital transactions made via the Absa mobile app, internet banking, or Spark wallet. Through this initiative, Absa aimed to expand efforts to promote digital adoption within Seychelles.
Speaking to the media, Claudine Esparon expressed her happiness at being one of the winners. ‘When I see the diverse group of winners, I did not expect that someone of my age would be fortunate enough, but I am extremely grateful,’ she stated. Mrs Esparon further commented that this initiative is commendable, stating that Absa has consistently been one of her most reliable banks. Kathamuthui Kalasamy, who has recently moved to the Seychelles, was also among the winners. ‘This feels like such a blessing; in a way, it is like a warm welcome to Seychelles and a Christmas gift,’ he joyfully exclaimed.
