'There is a significant number of people and small companies that do not have bank accounts. These people do not understand the importance of having bank accounts - be it a personal or business account.

Some businesses are not developing - not because they do not have the potential, but because they cannot get loans as no one is willing to borrow a person without an account history.  We believe that through incentivising them to open accounts, we are opening a world of opportunity, convenience and safety,' says Craig Bouwer, Stanbic Bank Director of Personal and Business Banking. The Pop and Win campaign will run from the 15th of February to 30th April 2010. To qualify for the promotion, individuals and businesses will have to open either a TransactPlus Account, or a Personal Current Account or a Business Current Account.

Upon opening the account, they will be given an opportunity to pop balloons to stand a chance of winning an instant prize. Other prizes range from P1000 weekly prize and a grand prize of a plasma screen for the new TransactPlus and Personal Current Account holders, and a Laptop and Printer Combo for the Business Current Account holders.

Commenting on the campaign,  Stanbic Bank Sales and Service Manager, Felicia January said, 'We believe that banking should be simple hence a simple and fun campaign to encourage people and businesses to open accounts with us. I am sure that this promotion will prove very rewarding for the individuals and businesses that take advantage of it.'

'This is just another way we are perusing our goals of educating the nation on financial issues. We believe that we should not only offer innovative and convenient banking solutions but also educate the public and enhance their knowledge on finance,' noted Bouwer.
