Standard Bank Namibia has introduced the URewards competition, a new initiative that rewards clients for their everyday banking behavior. The competition offers one lucky client and one lucky employee, each accompanied by a partner, the opportunity to travel to South Africa and watch Namibia's African Stars football team take on Orlando Pirates at the iconic Orlando Stadium. This initiative reflects the bank's commitment to creating meaningful value for its clients beyond traditional banking.

The launch event for the URewards competition was attended by Namibian football legend and coach Ricardo Mannetti, who praised the initiative for celebrating Namibian talent on an international stage. Mannetti emphasized that the competition is not just about football, but about giving ordinary Namibians access to opportunities they may not otherwise experience. He commended Standard Bank for creating opportunities for its clients that go beyond banking and connect people to experiences that inspire.

The URewards competition is linked to Standard Bank's URewards programme, which rewards eligible clients with monthly cashback when they consistently use their Standard Bank Mastercard for everyday purchases. This programme is designed to reward clients for their loyalty and banking behavior. By using their Standard Bank Mastercard, clients can earn cashback every month, which can be turned into unforgettable experiences through competitions like the URewards.

Felcia Jooste, Manager of everyday banking at Standard Bank Namibia, spoke at the launch event, highlighting the bank's commitment to rewarding its clients. Jooste emphasized that the competition demonstrates how the bank continues to reward clients for banking behavior they already practice daily. She noted that at Standard Bank, loyalty should be rewarded, and the URewards programme is one way the bank ensures that banking delivers tangible benefits in clients' lives.

The URewards competition is open to Standard Bank clients who are registered for the URewards programme. To participate, clients simply need to use their Standard Bank Mastercard for everyday purchases, which will earn them cashback and entry into the competition. The lucky winners will be announced at a later date, and will be treated to a unique experience watching Namibia's African Stars football team play at Orlando Stadium in South Africa.

The URewards competition is part of Standard Bank's efforts to connect its clients to experiences that inspire and create lifelong memories. By partnering with Namibian football, the bank is able to celebrate Namibian talent on an international stage while giving ordinary Namibians access to opportunities they may not otherwise experience. This initiative is a reflection of the bank's commitment to creating meaningful value for its clients.

The URewards competition will run for a limited time, and clients are encouraged to participate by using their Standard Bank Mastercard for everyday purchases. The competition offers a unique opportunity for clients and employees to experience the excitement of international football, while also rewarding their loyalty to Standard Bank. With the URewards programme, clients can earn cashback and turn everyday spending into unforgettable experiences.
