Foremost financial Institution; Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank), has unveiled
the SKS Young Inventor Competition which is expected to run between
October 27th and November 30th.
The SKS Young Inventor Competition is an amazing journey to find the next
generation of inventors and forward thinking citizens, committed to the
growth of the country. The bank embarked on this initiative in order to
help children give expression to their imagination through invention.
The National Competition is powered by GTBank Smart Kids Save account, as
part of a series of activities lined up to commemorate the 10th year
anniversary of the SKS product and is open to all SKS customers aged
between 4–17 years old.
According to a representative from the Bank, we are excited about the “SKS
Young Inventor” competition because it is not just about organizing a
campaign for children to win gift items, but about inspiring young minds
to aspire for the greatest heights in everything they do and promoting our
core values of excellence, innovation and service. These values make us
unique and inform our identity as a Proudly African and Truly
International Bank.
To participate in the competition, entrants may submit a
photograph/drawing or blueprint of their invention along with a written
summary describing what the invention can do. Entries can be submitted via
e-mail to sks@gtbank.com and all participants are eligible to enter once,
as multiple entries will be disallowed. Winners will be notified by
telephone or email and a list of prize winners will be published on the
corporate website www.gtbank/sks.com.
The Smart Kids Save account is designed to inculcate financial literacy in
children and teenagers early in life as well as promote a healthy savings
culture amongst them. Parents can open the account with as low as N1, 000

The GT Bank Smart Kids Save account is a product designed specially to
help parents save for their children as well as teach children about the
