Standard Chartered Bank embarks on referral campaign to increase client base

Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria Limited has embarked on a referral campaign targeted at increasing its client base.

As part of its 25th-anniversary celebrations, the bank rewarded loyal customers at its recent Member Get Member (MGM) payout ceremony in Lagos.

The MGM campaign is an affluent banking referral campaign designed to motivate existing individual clients and staff of the Bank to refer their close associates (family and friends) to open accounts with the Bank and get rewarded for their referrals.

For this edition, 55 clients were rewarded. Some of the award recipients were physically present at the bank’s head office in Lagos for the ceremony, while others joined the event virtually from various locations.
