Also Seif said that in order to attract the participation and skills in the festival, CRDB bank though its card payment campaign known as “Scan, Chanja, Lipa, sepa” has sponsored four customers to participate in the festival by paying all their costs including transport and accommodation for three days of the festival.
“We continue to attract our customers to buy and pay by using their card in our payment machines (POS) which are everywhere in the country and shops, petrol stations, restaurants and other places and therefore our customers should stop moving with money that may endanger their safety”, Seif added.
