Centier Bank’s prize-linked savings account, Billinero, has named Heather Hunter of Hebron, Ind., as the monthly $1,000 drawing winner.
Billinero is a savings account that awards cash prizes in monthly and quarterly drawings to winning users and is designed to develop and strengthen the habit of saving money. With each qualifying deposit, users earn an entry into the monthly drawing, and for every three qualifying deposits they make, they earn an entry into the quarterly drawing.
Hunter has been sporadically saving money with Billinero for the last few years, and said the account has made her realize the importance of having a savings account to lean on when unexpected expenses pop up.
“Since I began using Billinero to save, I’ve had to use the funds for unexpected expenses that pop up out of nowhere, but I’m also glad that I was prepared for them,” Hunter said. “This definitely came at the right time, I just found out I need to pay $800 for a housing project. I’m glad I finally won!”
Hunter also shared the experience with her teenage daughter, who just got her first job and opened her first Student Checking Account.
"I'm proud of my daughter for getting her first job and wanting to manage her money responsibly," Hunter said. "I'm excited to share this moment with her."
Billinero’s next $1,000 monthly and quarterly drawing is taking place March 31, 2024. Users who are interested in opening an account to earn chances to win can go to centier.com/billinero.
