Republic Bank’s Linden Branch presented three Lindeners with winnings totalling $200,000 during its Town Week 2011 promotion.
Yulander Sinclair came in first place, winning an IPOD Classic valued $89,000; Carlos Angel came second, winning a Blackberry Curve and Nevlyn Benjamin came in third, winning a portable DVD player.
The Bank’s promotion was open to new and current salaried employees, businessmen and professionals who would have applied for any type of loan between April 7 and 30.
According to Officer-in-Charge of the Linden branch Randulph Sears, the idea was birthed by the local management and staff and won the blessings of senior managers.
He said that they thought it was an excellent idea for the Bank to be actively involved in the Town Week celebrations, while giving back to its customers.
Sears said the Bank received about 200 applications during the said period, 90% of which were approved. He also noted that the promotion will be held annually during the Town Week activities and that it has the potential to become bigger in the coming years.
