in GBTI’s ‘Dream Big Housing Promotion’

RAJENDRA Khelawan, 30, a customer of the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry’s (GBTI) Providence branch, on Sunday, won the 2022 Toyota Raize in the bank’s Dream Big Housing Promotion.

Two other customers: Nankishore Rambarran and Rajiv Benny won Mastercard Credit cards compliments of the bank also.
The drawing, according to a press release from the company, took place at GuyExpo, in front of the GBTI booth, visible on a large screen before a sizeable crowd.
More than 100 other customers from across the country were entered in the promotion after being approved for a loan to buy, build or renovate their home between July and October this year.

Rawattie Mohandeo, Business Development Manager of GBTI, said the bank understands that the single most significant investment one could make is owning their home which is why the bank offers competitive interest rates and as low as five per cent down payment.

“It is not too late,” she said, adding: “Start getting your plans together and next year you could be part of a similar promotion.”
Khelawan, excited but calm, said he came to the drawing with the aim of driving home the vehicle.
He said he did his research and realised that the rates at GBTI were the best and applied for his home. When he applied for his home, he also learnt of the promotion and while he was fixed on getting his home started, his eyes were also on the prize.

“This saves me a lot because I would have had to get a vehicle. If you’re a young professional, I would say to you start building now; don’t wait, and GBTI makes it easy for you,” he said.
