LOWELL, Mass.— Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union has awarded Brandon Dicamillo $5,000 as the first Grand Prize Winner in its WinStrong Savings Account Annual Prize Giveaway.
Jeanne D’Arc launched the WinStrong Savings Account in January 2021 to incent and reward members for saving. For each $25 a member increases their savings balance each month, the member receives one prize drawing entry (maximum four entries per month) into monthly, quarterly, and annual drawings. Prizes include five $50 monthly prizes, two $500 quarterly prizes, and one $5,000 annual prize.
In the program’s first year, Jeanne D’Arc has given away over $10,000 to members just for simply saving.
“I signed up last January and started depositing money into the account. It was easy to sign up and simple to understand, and the incentives were great, too. I just started my own business, so this money came at a great time,” said Brandon Dicamillo.
“We are one of two credit unions in Massachusetts offering this program,” said Mark S. Cochran, president and Chief Executive Officer at Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. “We believe a program like this can add a little excitement to helping our members save.
