At a time when they needed some good news to lift their spirits, Philip and Rose Corbin received the surprising news that they had won the Grand Prize in Republic Bank’s recently concluded Own It Campaign and promotion.
The promotion was open to customers who applied for new mortgages, home equity loans or switched their mortgages to the Bank. The couple was in Trinidad preparing for the funeral of a dear friend when they received a call from representatives of the Bank telling them they had won $15,000 towards the purchase of new furniture as well as a special welcome home gift.
“It lifted our spirits and the spirits of those around us,” Rose said.
The two are first time clients who said they were referred to Republic Bank by someone from a competing financial institution.
“We were told that the Bank was efficient and fast and that has proven to be the case,” Philip explained.
They were referred to Retail Services Manager, Six Roads Branch, Solange Bruce, and the couple said that from the very beginning, they were delighted with the service they received.
They especially praised Bruce, Sales Supervisor, Carolanne Burgess, and Sales Officer, Jay Alleyne, for their professionalism, efficiency and courtesy.
“We have nothing but good things to say about Republic Bank and the tremendous treatment we received from the staff,” Philip said.
“We have been telling everyone about the service and we have begun a vigorous recruitment of customers for Republic Bank,” Rose added.
The couple said they have no firm plans as yet for their winnings but it is clear that their relationship with the Bank is only just beginning.
