According to him, "The draws for the Northern region of the country will be held on November 27, in the Country Mall, Farm Centre, Kano State. This was coming on the heels of a successful outing in the last draw which was held in the South-South region, in Port Harcourt, specifically."
He disclosed that the Springsave Empowerment Account, which has the least account opening balance in the banking industry, is designed to encourage the habit of savings among the generality of Nigerians, especially low income earners.

It is an opportunity created by the bank after a careful study to encourage people to save money irrespective of their income.
The product therefore makes it possible for people who think they are at the lowest rung of the income ladder to be able to save against all odds. Aside from encouraging people to save for the rainy days, the product is also made even more attractive because those that take advantage of the opportunity not only get instant gift items, but also stand qualified to participate in the regional draws, win items such as Toyota Hilux Vans, Motorcycles, Generating sets, Starcomms fixed wireless phones, Multi-purpose engines, sewing machines, Wahl Professional Clipers and Standing Hair Dryers."
Speaking in the same vein, Mr. Abel Enechiazan, Network Executive of the bank, disclosed that SpringSave Empowerment Account is one of the products of Spring Bank that is designed to empower millions of Nigerians by helping them save money that will help them build a better and guaranteed tomorrow.
