To qualify, parents and guardians are to open a Royal Kiddies Account in any Wema Bank branch close to them with a minimum of N100,000 before September 12, 2020.

The winning accounts would be notified of their reward after the final selection which is set to hold on September 18, 2020.

The Royal Kiddies account, a savings account opened by parents and guardians enables them to save up for their children's education. As a Royal Kiddies account holder, a child gets to enjoy a competitive interest rate of 4.75% on savings, an E-Purse for electronic transactions and many other incentives including an opportunity to win the annual Wema Educational Award.

"It is our way of supporting parents in educating their children and we are happy with the impact we have made in the past years," said Dotun Ifebogun, Divisional Head, Retail Business, Wema Bank

"This year, education has been greatly hampered by the breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic and we hope this will go a long way to support this year's winners as they settle into the new normal. We also hope to use this gesture to help inculcate a savings culture into children and prepare them for financial freedom early."
