THE GH¢5,000 that 30- year-old Mr John Arhinful Mensah deposited in his HFC Bank account during the bank’s Homesave Promotion has won him a two bedroom detached house at Oyarifa.
Mr Arhinful, an IT expert with Norpalm Ghana Limited, a Palm Oil Processing Company in Takoradi, told the Daily Graphic on phone that he was currently “perching” with his brother in Takoradi and was thus very happy to have won the draw.
“I knew I would win the promotion because I was actually confident with it.”
According to him, the bank would be handing over the house’s keys to him in the coming weeks and once that is done, “that would call for grand celebrations.”
He said selling the house was out of his plans at the moment but he added that he might consider renting it out for sometime.
During the promotion, which ran for six months, customers were expected to deposit a minimum of GH¢100 in either HFC Smart, Life Starter or the Students’ Plus accounts for a minimum of 180 days to qualify for the promotion.
This draw was the first of the HFC’s three-tier Homesave Promotion lined up this year. The second and third promotion draw are scheduled for June and September this year.
Speaking during the launch, the Executive Director of the bank, Mr Akwete Akita, said the acute housing shortage in the country needed to be addressed due to the pervasive nature of the situation.
“It is these houses that grow into neighbourhoods, communities, societies and eventually develops into a nation,” Mr Akita observed.
He said the HFC Homesave promotion was a means of promoting the goal of home ownership by “making our valued customers become home owners, sooner than they expected.”
He said in the bank’s quest to extend home-ownership to all “our customers and the wider public, we included our unique products such as the HFC Smart, Life Starter and the Students’ Plus accounts.”
