Thirty-year-old Rajendra Khelawan a customer of Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) Providence branch on the East Bank of Demera (EBD) on Sunday evening drove off with a brand new 2022 Toyota Raize that was up for grabs in the bank’s ‘Dream Big’ Housing promotion.
Two other customers Nankishore Rambarran and Rajiv Benny won Mastercard Credit cards.
The drawing took place at GuyExpo, in front of the GBTI booth, visible on a large screen before a sizeable crowd.
More than 100 other customers from across the country were entered in the promotion after being approved for a loan to buy, build or renovate their homes between July and October, 2023.
Business Development Manager, Rawattie Mohandeo related that the bank understands that the single most significant investment one can make is owning their home which is why the bank offers competitive interest rate and as low as 5 per cent down payment.
“It is not too late,” she said, “start getting your plans together and next year you could be part of a similar promotion.”
An excited Khelawan related that he came to the drawing with the aim of driving home the vehicle.
He said he did his research and realised that the rates at GBTI were the best and applied for his home.
When he applied for his home, he also learnt of the promotion and while he was fixed on getting his home started, his eyes were also on the prize.
“This saves me a lot because I would have had to get a vehicle. If you’re a young professional, I would say to you start building now don’t wait and GBTI makes it easy for you,” he said.
