FDH Money Bureau ends ‘Double Double’ promotion with K40 million prize draw

FDH Money Bureau has given away K40 million in grand prizes to four pairs of winners to mark the end of its five-month “Double Double” promotion.

The winning pairs are Maud Alick and Frank Alick, Issa Namutibuka and Ladouce Therese, Astrid Fatima Magnan and Chiukepo M. Magawa, and Wadzanai Mukurutangwa and Ruth Kapida.

Each pair will share K10 million.

The promotion, launched in July, rewarded both senders and recipients of money transfers made through Western Union, MoneyGram and Ria using FDH platforms.

Alongside the grand prize, the bureau ran a monthly draw in which 20 further winners received K500,000 each.

Speaking at the final draw on Thursday, FDH Money Bureau Marketing Manager Tiyese Kaimila said the promotion had met its aims.

“We also wanted to assure Malawians in the diaspora that their money would reach their loved ones safely through trusted and recognised channels. The promotion was a success and its overall aim was achieved,” Kaimila said.

He said the campaign had also helped foreign exchange regulation.

“The promotion helped to improve the flow of foreign currency through recognised financial institutions, supported transparency in money transfers and has contributed to efforts aimed at addressing foreign exchange challenges in the country,” he said.
