Amman, January 2016 - Bank al Etihad has announced the lucky winner of its annual grand prize for the year 2015, awarding 'THARAA' savings account holder Ahmed Kanakrieh with a grand total of JOD one million cash. Kanakrieh learned that he was the JOD one million prize winner on 4 January, 2016, when he was surprised with a lively celebration held at the Bank al Etihad headquarters in Shmeisani.

Marking the largest prize awarded in Bank al Etihad's history, the celebration was attended by Chairman Isam Salfiti, CEO Nadia Al Saeed and the Bank's staff, all of whom shared in the winner's excitement. During the festivities, the Bank's staff joined Jordanian band Autostrad in singing 'Etihad's Million,' an original song written in honor of the joyous occasion. The song's lyrics were inspired by the Bank's fans, who shared their creative ideas during an interactive songwriting campaign held on Bank al Etihad's Facebook page.

The winner, whose account is located at Bank al Etihad's Rabieh branch, was chosen during a draw held on the final day of 2015, conducted in the presence of representatives from the Central Bank of Jordan, the ministry of finance and the Bank's management. Bank al Etihad established its annual grand prize in order to show its appreciation and gratitude for the loyalty and confidence of its customers, who rely on the Bank's products and services to meet their ever-changing needs. It is also consistent with Bank al Etihad's ongoing efforts to offer its customers the very best in order to always remain their bright choice.

Upon winning Bank al Etihad's grand prize for the year 2015, Kanakrieh expressed his delight, describing it as 'a dream come true' and 'the best possible way to start the New Year.' He also thanked Bank al Etihad for its faithful commitment to providing its customers with the finest services, products and prizes in the Kingdom, in addition to commending the Bank for its transparency and credibility.

Bank al Etihadcustomers still have the chance to win the second-ever JOD one million prize in 2016, open to current 'THARAA' savings account holders who are growing their accounts as well as to new customers. The Bank will announce its new lineup of exciting prizes for savings account holders during the first quarter of the current year.
