I truly appreciate the inclusive efforts that DIB has made in order to ensure that all customers stand a chance to win the prize money, it was very easy to enter so it’s exciting to be a winner. The money I have won through this promotion means a lot to me and my family and I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the management of Dubai Islamic Bank for organizing this campaign.”

Sanjay Malhotra, Chief of Consumer Banking, at Dubai Islamic Bank said; “We extend our congratulations to all the winners of the fourth draw of our “Double Your Salary. Double Your Joy” promotion. Four months into this campaign, we have rewarded our four Grand Winners and 40 Runners-Up so far and are looking forward to bringing even more delight to our salary transfer customers over the coming months. With more draws to take place this year, there’s still time for new customers to sign up for this initiative to get the chance of doubling their monthly salary through this promotion.”

Participants who transfer a salary of AED 8,000 or more qualify for the prize draws, held every month by DIB where the grand prize winner is entitled to receive one-month’s salary, equivalent to the amount transferred to the bank, up to a maximum of AED 100,000. The selected 10 runners-up will each receive a AED 5,000 pre-loaded DIB card each month.
