Eight shop owners won cash prizes of Lm200 each in HSBC’s Merchant Acquiring Campaign. In total, 16 shop owners will be winning the cash prizes during the campaign.

By swiping customers’ cards over the HSBC point of sale terminal, shop owners get the chance to win weekly cash prizes together with a final grand prize, in what is an incentive-driven campaign. The top three merchants who register the highest overall percentage increase throughout the eight-week period of the campaign will also win an LG 42 inch Plasma Screen.

At HSBC’s Hexagon House, the first eight winners were presented with their prizes. These were Mdina Glass, Gas Valletta, Forwardtech, Maltacom, Inkspots, Vegimania, Morgan, and Xara Palace Hotel’s AD 1530. The Maltacom Group will be donating its prize to the Oasi Foundation.

“At HSBC we continuously look for ways to add value to our relationships with clients. One example is the recent programme to replace all point of sale credit card terminals with new and faster models. HSBC’s Merchant Acquiring Campaign was another initiative to strengthen our rapport with outlet owners and reward their loyalty to the bank,” said HSBC Bank Malta plc’s Head of Commercial Banking, James Dunbar Cousin.
