Mbabane — Standard Bank Eswatini has celebrated the winners of its Choose to Tap or Tap & Win campaign, with 12 customers sharing prizes worth a total of E850,000 after participating in the promotion that encourages safer, cashless card payments.
The campaign, which was launched on 15 October and runs until 31 January, rewards customers for using their Standard Bank debit or credit cards for everyday purchases, with each transaction counting as an entry. Winners were selected during October and November.
Top prize winners included Mary Anne Sikhondze, who walked away with a 70-inch Smart TV, Marina Henwood, who won a 75-inch Smart TV, and Vincent Way, who received a Samsung A16 smartphone. Other prizes awarded included JBL headphones and speakers, Field Bars, power banks and smartwatches.
Additional winners were Bongani Bhembe, who won JBL headphones, while Salim Chotubhai Meghani, Euan Collyer and Wandile Dlamini received JBL speakers. Khanyisile Matsenjwa, Wan-Li Chang and Mbongeni Simelane won Field Bars, Mbuso Mwali received a power bank, and Phindile Gama and Sizwe Sibiya were awarded smartwatches.
Some winners also benefited from instant cash prizes of up to E500 at selected shopping centres, while others had their groceries fully paid for as part of the promotion.
Speaking at the celebration, Standard Bank Eswatini Head of Products Nqoba Manana said customers responded positively to the campaign by actively using their cards instead of cash, adding that the initiative achieved its goal of encouraging safer banking behaviour.
One of the winners, Khanyisile Matsenjwa, said she was excited to receive her prize, noting that she had always wanted a Field Bar and was looking forward to using it during the festive season.
Head of Brand and Marketing at Standard Bank Eswatini, Sanele Khumalo, said the campaign was designed to promote safer card usage, particularly during the festive period when cash-related risks tend to rise.
She added that, beyond the prizes already awarded, selected winners will enjoy an all-expenses-paid trip to Cape Town with their partners from February 2026, bringing the campaign to a memorable close.
