JOHANNESBURG - Standard Bank has announced the launch of a new game-show which it says will enable its customers to reach their "next" million.
Your Next Million, will follow the tried-and-tested game show format, but will also have a notable twist. Questions and tasks will be focused on financial well-being and Standard Banks says that this is testament to its commitment to financial literacy and promise to move South Africa and the rest of Africa forward.
“As the bank committed to moving Africa forward, Standard Bank realises it needs to change people’s lives for the better,” says Tinyiko Mageza, Head of Marketing for Retail & Business Banking at Standard Bank.
“Our products and services are designed to assist our customers on their unique journeys to their definition of success, and – while it certainly has high entertainment value – Your Next Million™ is no different from our in-bank offerings. The game show's ultimate goal is to give our customers the means to craft their own success and get them one step closer to their nexts.”
