When Dhabya Al Shehhi, a UAE national homemaker, based in Dubai, was considering closing her Dubai Bank Kunooz Value Plus account so she could assist friends in need of financial assistance, little did she know that the next day she would win a million dirhams in the Kunooz monthly cash prize draw.
"I believe this prize is a gift from Allah for my friends, who were seeking help from me," says Al Shehhi. "I now plan to use the money to help my friends, and divide the rest between charity and my four children."
Al Shehhi is a long-standing customer of Dubai Bank, and was introduced to the multiple benefits of Kunooz Value Plus account by the bank's financial advisors.
"As a homemaker, I invest all my savings for my children's future," she said. "With the Dubai Bank Kunooz prize, I am now assured of meeting my children's needs for many years to come. I have saved with several products, but the Kunooz account has been truly rewarding. I have been banking with Dubai Bank for a long time and I have been thoroughly satisfied with the service experience."
Tariq Al Farsi, Head of Branches at Dubai Bank, who presented the winning cheque to a delighted Al Shehhi, said: "Our Kunooz Value Plus account has helped our customers in more ways than one. In the last year, including Mrs. Al Shehhi, 13 customers have realised their varied dreams through Dubai Bank's Kunooz Value Plus account. Kunooz continues to prove extremely attractive to a wide cross-section of the UAE population, including all of those who seek a secure, Shari'a-compliant savings scheme with opportunities to take home a range of fabulous prizes."
Under the Kunooz monthly cash prize promotion, each multiple of AED 1,000 deposited in the Kunooz Account qualifies the customer for multiple entries into the draw for daily cash prizes of AED 30,000. For every multiple of AED 5,000 deposited, account holders become eligible for entry into the monthly grand prize draw of AED 1 million. The programme also offers participants the possibility to win more than once.
