Fidelity Bank’s GAIM 6 Promo Extension: A Timely Boost for Financial Inclusion, Economic Empowerment

L – R: Direct Sales Executive, Fidelity Bank Plc, Adegboyega Ademokunwa; GAIM 6 Eight Monthly draw Winner, Innocent Okoro Orji; Branch Leader, Fidelity Bank Plc, Gbagada, Chinwe Umez-Eronini; and Product Manager, Savings, Fidelity Bank Plc at the GAIM 6 prize presentation ceremony held at Gbagada Building Materials market in Lagos recently.

As Nigeria looks to opening up the economy and empowering its citizens, Fidelity Bank Plc has taken a bold step to deepen financial inclusion and reward customer loyalty by extending its flagship savings campaign, the Get Alert in Millions (GAIM) Season 6 promo.

The extension adds three more months to the campaign and raises the total prize pool from ₦159 million to a record ₦189 million. This move, announced in September 2025, comes at a critical time when the country’s economic landscape demands innovative financial solutions and inclusive banking strategies. 

The Nigerian Economy and the Imperative of Financial Inclusion

Nigeria’s economy, while resilient, faces persistent challenges including inflation, currency volatility, and limited access to formal financial services.

According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), recent reforms such as exchange rate unification and bank recapitalisation are aimed at stabilising the macroeconomic environment and positioning the banking sector to support a $1 trillion economy.

The CBN’s Payment System Vision 2028 also underscores the importance of digital transformation and financial inclusion as tools for economic development.

In this context, Fidelity Bank’s GAIM 6 promo is more than a marketing campaign, it is a strategic intervention that aligns with national goals. By incentivizing savings and expanding access to banking services, the promo contributes to the broader mission of empowering underserved communities and fostering economic resilience.

World Savings Day 2025: A Global Call to Action

The extension of GAIM 6 coincides with the upcoming World Savings Day on October 31, 2025. Celebrated annually, this global observance promotes the importance of saving as a pathway to financial security and economic stability.

Fidelity Bank’s decision to extend GAIM 6 during this period amplifies the theme of the 2025 World Savings Day – “This is not a savings account”, encouraging Nigerians to cultivate smart financial habits and leverage digital banking platforms for long-term growth.

Speaking to journalists, Osita Ede, Divisional Head of Product Development at Fidelity Bank, emphasised the bank’s commitment to listening to its customers. “They asked for more opportunities to benefit from the promo, and we listened. With management and regulatory consent, we’re thrilled to keep the excitement going for another three months,” Ede said.

GAIM 6 vs. Other Savings Promos: What Sets It Apart

While several Nigerian banks run savings promotions, GAIM 6 distinguishes itself through its scale, inclusivity, and strategic design.

The campaign targets a wide demographic, including NYSC corps members, women, children, and market clusters—segments often excluded from formal banking. Winners are selected through electronic draws supervised by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), ensuring transparency and fairness.

Unlike promos that focus solely on high-value deposits, GAIM 6 allows participation with deposits as low as ₦2,000. This democratises access and encourages participation from low-income earners. Moreover, the campaign integrates financial advisory support through the Fidelity SME Hub, helping winners make informed decisions about their rewards.

How GAIM 6 Works

GAIM 6 is designed to be simple, accessible, and rewarding. Customers can participate by opening a Fidelity Savings Account via the bank’s mobile app, website, USSD (77001#), or at any branch. Each ₦5,000 deposit earns an entry ticket into the monthly and grand draws.

The final draw will award ₦2 million to the second runner-up, ₦5 million to the first runner-up, and ₦10 million to the grand prize winner.

The campaign also includes targeted draws aligned with national events such as Workers’ Day, Children’s Day, and Independence Day. These draws are complemented by regional activations, campus storms, and market outreach programs that drive engagement and account openings.

A Millionaire Christmas: Transforming Lives Through GAIM 6

With over ₦47 million still available in upcoming draws – ₦30 million in monthly draws and ₦17 million in the grand draw, Fidelity Bank is poised to create a wave of new millionaires just in time for the festive season. In the 7th and 8th monthly draws alone, 20 customers received ₦1 million each.

These life-changing rewards not only boost individual financial security but also stimulate local economies through increased spending and investment.

“We are delighted to welcome our newest beneficiaries and commend their loyalty. A million Naira is a life-changing amount, and we encourage them to make the most of it,” Ede noted.

The bank’s financial advisory services at the SME Hub further enhance the impact of these rewards, guiding recipients on how to grow their winnings through smart investments and business development.

A Strategic Win for Fidelity Bank and Nigeria

The extension of GAIM 6 is a testament to Fidelity Bank’s responsiveness, innovation, and commitment to customer-centric banking. By aligning the promo with national economic goals and global observances like World Savings Day, the bank reinforces its role as a catalyst for financial empowerment.

As the campaign enters its final phase, Nigerians have a unique opportunity to save, win, and transform their financial futures by simply inculcating a healthy savings habit.

Xenophobia Row Exposes Rivalry Between Nigeria, South Africa

The recall of Nigeria’s top diplomat after a spate of xenophobic attacks in South Africa follows several similar spats that expose the two countries’ deep rivalry for economic and political dominance in Africa. Nigeria’s Acting High Commissioner to South Africa Martin Cobham said he had been “invited” to Abuja to discuss this month’s anti-immigrant attacks in South Africa, which have killed at least seven people. Televised images of armed gangs attacking immigrants and looting foreign-owned stores in Johannesburg have sparked a backlash in Nigeria, where hundreds protested in front of shops owned by South African brands like MTN and Shoprite.
