Commercial Bank of Ceylon has announced that it is starting 2022 on a rewarding note with the launch of ‘Win a Million’, a remittance promotion that will make four instant millionaires in four months and reward another 40 recipients of remittances with a total of Rs.1 million in cash.


The prize purse of Rs.5 million would be shared by the bank’s remittance customers chosen at monthly draws between January 1 and April 30, 2022, under this promotion, the bank said. Each month, the bank will pick one grand prize winner to receive Rs.1 million and another 10 lucky winners, who will receive Rs.25,000 each in consolation prizes. 


Recipients of money via ComBank RemitPlus, the remittance service of the bank, will automatically be entered into the draw. Every customer, who receives remittances directly to a Commercial Bank account during the promotion period and those who collect the remitted cash from a Commercial Bank branch close to them, will be eligible to enter the monthly Win a Million draws.


In addition to the chance to win these cash prizes, every worker remittance sent via the bank, would be eligible to receive an additional Rs.10 over the prevailing exchange rate for every US dollar converted until January 31, 2022, the bank said.


The bank said it would publish the details of the winners on its social media platforms as well as the bank’s RemitPlus app.


The bank said the Win a Million campaign would also encourage the recipients of remittances to directly approach the bank and remittance partners to promote direct remittances, help reach untapped markets, boost customer loyalty and retention, attract customers of global partners and popularise its Remittance Card, RemitPlus app and related value-added services.
