Standard Lesotho Bank launches M900 000 transaction bonanza to drive digital payments

STAFF REPORTER

MASERU – Standard Lesotho Bank has ignited excitement across the country with the launch of its 2025 Transactional Campaign, promising customers a shot at over M900 000 in cash and car prizes simply for using digital banking services.

Running under the vibrant new slogan ‘Ha monate joang!’, the campaign aims to accelerate Lesotho’s shift away from cash while generously rewarding everyday digital transactions.

The campaign, which runs from August 1 to December 31, continues the bank’s mission to encourage digital payments and reduce reliance on physical cash, while rewarding customers for making smarter financial choices.

Over the five-month period, customers stand a chance to win a share of M300 000 in monthly cash prizes, and ultimately, drive away in one of two brand-new Toyota Starlets in the grand draw at the end of the campaign, valued at over M600 000.

According to Rethabile Motsoahae, Head of Personal and Private Banking at Standard Lesotho Bank, the campaign goes beyond just rewards – it is about creating a culture of convenience, security and financial empowerment.

“With this campaign, we are celebrating the everyday customer who chooses to bank smarter. Whether you are sending money, swiping for groceries, or buying electricity from your phone, these simple actions are what drive Lesotho’s digital economy forward. We want to reward that behaviour in a meaningful way and what better way than giving away cash and two brand-new cars,” he said.

To enter the campaign, customers are required to complete at least three qualifying transactions each month. These include one swipe or tap at any card machine or point-of-sale terminal, one Instant Money transfer, and one purchase of prepaid airtime or electricity using Standard Lesotho Bank’s App, Internet Banking, or Mobile Banking.

Each transaction must be valued at M20 or more, and customers who transact more frequently improve their chances of winning. Only customers with Blue, Silver, or Gold transactional accounts in good standing with the bank are eligible to participate.

The campaign is open to all qualifying Standard Lesotho Bank customers, with the exception of employees and their immediate family members. Customer accounts must be free of arrears or unauthorised overdrafts throughout the campaign period.

Monthly winners will be selected via random draws and contacted directly by phone or email. Their names will also be announced on the bank’s social media platforms and in national newspapers.

While customers are only eligible to win once in the monthly draws, they remain eligible for the grand prize draw in December, where two lucky winners will each walk away with a brand-new Toyota Starlet worth about M300 000.

Prizes are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash or other alternatives. Participation in the campaign implies acceptance of all terms and conditions, and the promotion is governed by the laws of Lesotho.

Standard Lesotho Bank continues to lead in driving digital transformation in the financial sector, ensuring that convenience, safety, and innovation remain at the heart of the customer experience.

Through Transactional Campaign, the bank invites all Basotho to embrace digital banking and transact with ease, and enjoy the exciting rewards that come with it.
