Winner prefers her bonds over gold coins

A wish has just came true for a worthy regular saver with National Bonds, whose wise choice of financial planning rewarded her with a bag of solid gold coins.

Fiona Anne Marie D’Souza is the first winner of National Bonds’ five wishes campaign ”Wish, Save and Win,” and is now the proud owner of Dh50,000 worth of gold coins.

The ongoing ”Wish, Save & Win” campaign is offering customers the opportunity to increase their savings by multiples of 5,000 and win prizes fulfilling five ‘wishes’ including gold coins, jewellery, a BMW X5 car and fully furnished apartment.

D’Souza, a regular saver with National Bonds since 2009, said; “I am so happy that my regular saving with National Bonds has paid off far sooner and much more than I expected - 900% and 10 times more to be exact! I am 100 % sure that this is only possible with National Bonds and as such, my husband and I will continue to save with National Bonds and encourage our young daughter to do so as well.”

Mohammed Qasim Al Ali, CEO of National Bonds Corporation PJSC commented: “We would like to congratulate Mrs. D’Souza on her win and her commitment to regular savings with National Bonds. She is the perfect example of how continuous commitment to saving pays off. The fifth anniversary “Wish, Save & Win” campaign’s primary goal is to promote and reward healthy regular savings habits and I am particularly glad that our first winner is a shining example of that behavior.”

He added, “For the first wish, we decided to give a gift that keeps on giving in the form of solid gold. As a commodity that has always been on the rise and never loses its intrinsic value, the winner is rewarded with a prize that appreciates with time - as does her bonds that she saves every month with National Bonds. Next month’s jewellery prize fulfills the same goal - finding creative ways to encourage savings.”

National Bonds has launched a host of creative initiatives to provide added value to their bondholders’ savings in recent months, including the US Dollar-linked Sukuk for customers who prefer to save in US Dollars and get the same dirhams return. This is in addition to a Standing Instruction Order facility that allows customers to save part of their salary with National Bonds automatically every month and the Employee Savings Scheme that aims to fulfill the needs of the socially & economically concerned employers of choice.

The company recently announced that its customer base has grown to 622,000 bondholders from 200 different nationalities in just five years, during which it has distributed a cumulative profit rate of 26.45%, successfully positioning itself as the leading savings scheme in comparison to other savings initiatives in the UAE.  Since 2006, National Bonds has distributed AED 250 Million worth of prizes from the Mudareb own’s Fund and changed the lives of 95 customers by making them millionaires.
