The campaign which was launched on July 24, is the biggest combined mortgage and consumer loans campaign ever seen in the history of the region. It allowed existing and potential customers to get financing at rates starting as low as 9.5%.

Customers in Anguilla and across the other 14 territories in which FirstCaribbean operates had the opportunity to win cars and cash prizes in excess of USD150,000.

In Anguilla alone there were five lucky winners and this is what they had to say:

“I really wanted to consolidate a higher interest loan and after hearing about the low rates at FirstCaribbean, I decided to speak with a personal Banker. Now I’ve won USD500 just for taking out a loan, something I planned to do anyway.”
Navine Fleming-Kisob (August)
“When it was time for Jason to head off to college we all opted to get a student loan from FirstCaribbean. After all our family has been banking with this institution for well over 20 years. Apart from the friendly staff and quality service, doing business with FirstCaribbean really pays – Jason just won USD500.”
Patricia Hodge for Jason Hodge (September)

“When I approached the bank for my loan, getting something back was the last thing on my mind. Today I am here collecting a cheque for USD500 and it is just in time for Christmas too. I really hope that the next time I get called in for a prize, I will be driving away with that pick up truck. Thank You FirstCaribbean.”
Calvin Adams (October)

“I have been a customer for a long time, so when it was time for me to get a new loan I came back to FirstCaribbean. I really came back because of the service provided to me in the past and I never expected to win anything. Looking back now, I have never won anything in my life, now with FirstCaribbean I am a winner.”
Kevin Richardson (November)

“I really did not expect to win anything, I just came in to get a loan and now I have won USD500. It is truly a priveledge doing business with FirstCaribbean. Thank You.”
John Connor (December)

The campaign ran from July 24 to December 31, 2003 and will culminate with a regional grand prize draw in January, 2004.
