September 30 is the last chance to deposit and enter the annual draw

Kuwait, 22 August 2020: Starting this year, Gulf Bank’s annual grand prize for the Al Danah account has increased to 1.5 Million Kuwaiti Dinars, becoming one of the biggest prizes associated with a bank account worldwide. This year’s annual draw ceremony to announce the grand prize winner is scheduled to take place on January 14, 2021 with the last chance for customers to be able to deposit into their accounts, and therefore be eligible for the draw, on September 30, 2020.

Mohammad Al-Qattan, Deputy General Manager of Consumer Banking at Gulf Bank, encouraged Gulf Bank customers residing in Kuwait to take advantage of this opportunity, saying: “The Al Danah account is one of the best savings accounts in Kuwait, with its periodic draws that award valuable prizes and its many advantages for account holders. Gulf Bank’s Al Danah account offers weekly opportunities to win KD 1,000 to five lucky winners, in addition to three quarterly draws with KD 250,000 prizes each, and a grand prize of KD 1,500,000. I would also like to take this opportunity to remind Gulf Bank clients that they can always open and deposit into their Al Danah accounts online through the Gulf Bank app, or by visiting their nearest branch.”

During the months of June and July, Gulf Bank held all the weekly and quarterly draws that had been previously postponed due to restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic. Gulf Bank also launched the mobile "AlDanah Run” game, which users enjoyed with friends during the country's lockdown period.

Numerous Benefits

The Al Danah account is the only account that rewards customers for their loyalty by providing loyalty chances. Loyalty chances are the total chances gained at the end of the previous year, which are then transferred to the current year to reward the customer for their loyalty to the Bank.

In that way, all chances for existing Al Danah customers from 2019 (from January 1 to December 31, 2019) have been transferred to the 2020 draws, provided that customers qualify for the draw and that their balances do not drop below KD 200 at any time during the year 2020. It is also worth noting that all account draws are attended by a representative from the Ministry of Trade and Industry, with the quarterly and annual draws also reviewed by Ernst & Young.

Customers can deposit to win Al Danah cash prizes throughout the year in the draws listed in the following table:

To increase their chances of winning, account holders must either keep their account with a minimum deposit amount of KD 200, or increase their Al Danah savings — the more deposits into an account, the more chances accumulated over time. Gulf Bank’s Al Danah account holders also have the opportunity to enter and win cash prizes all year long through weekly, quarterly and annual draws.

Opening an Al Danah Account

To enter the upcoming draws, Gulf Bank customers can open an Al Danah account today with only KD 200. To open an Al Danah account, existing Gulf Bank customers can apply through Gulf Bank’s online and mobile banking services, or book an appointment at their nearest branch by using the new “Visit Gulf Bank” app for a faster and more convenient branch visit. New customers can also open an Al Danah account by visiting their nearest Gulf Bank branch or by scheduling an appointment through the app.
