Frequently Asked Questions

What is the "Rep Your Tribe" challenge about?

This is a campaign where you can represent your culture by creating a short video in your native language. The goal is to showcase why your culture is unique and you could win significant rewards.

To enter, you need to follow five main steps:

  • Create Your Story: Record a 60-second video in your native language. In the video, you must explain the “Zero Transfer Fees” information provided in the pop-up.
  • Film Professionally: Use portrait mode and make sure the video and audio are high quality (HD/UHD).
  • Dress the Part: Wear your finest traditional attire to represent your heritage.
  • Post Your Video: Upload the video to your social media account. You must use the hashtag #SterlingRepUrTryb and #SterlingFreeTransfer and tag @sterlingng on TikTok, @sterlingbank on Instagram, @Sterling_Bankng on Twitter/X and @SterlingBankNigeria on Facebook
  • Engage Your Community: Encourage your followers to like, share, and comment on your post to increase your engagement score.

Your video should be creative, possibly sharing a personal story or a proverb. However, it is essential that you also explain the Zero Transfer Fees offer from Sterling Bank as detailed in the pop-up information. This offer allows users with a Sterling account on the OneBank App to make transfers anywhere in Nigeria for free.

Winners are selected based on a combination of four criteria:

  • Mastery of Your Native Tongue (20%): How fluently and confidently you speak your native language.
  • Look the Part (20%): The quality of your video and the authenticity of your traditional attire.
  • Originality (20%): The creativity and originality of your video content.
  • Community Buzz (40%): The engagement your video receives, including likes, shares, and comments. This is your engagement score.

Likes show quick approval, comments prove viewers stopped to talk, and shares mean they loved it enough to pass it on. So we combine all three into one simple score.

  • Likes = 1 point each
  • Comments = 3 points each
  • Shares = 5 points each

Your Engagement Score is the sum of those points. Example: 500 likes + 60 comments + 40 shares = 500 + 180 + 200 = 880 points.

To win, your engagement score must hit 1,000 points to start with.

No. While community engagement is important and accounts for 40% of your score, the final decision is based on all four judging criteria. The judges’ evaluation of language mastery, style, and creativity makes up 60% of the final score.
