Up to RM250,000 to be won in The AFFINBANK Quarter Million Deal

KUALA LUMPUR - Fancy becoming RM250 thousand richer? Affin Bank Berhad (AFFINBANK) can help you do just that.
The Bank kicks off the month of April by holding ‘The AFFINBANK Quarter Million Deal' contest, with a grand prize of up to RM100 thousand cash and five monthly prizes of up to RM5,000 a month for six months. The contest is open to all AFFINBANK’s new and existing individual savings and current account holders.

"We wish to reward our customers for saving with us by giving them a chance of a lifetime to earn big money," said YBhg. Gen (R) Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Ismail Haji Omar, AFFINBANK Chairman.

"At the same time, we hope to spur better saving habits among Malaysians, particularly the younger generation. I am sure that the promised bounty of up to RM250 thousand will attract customers to save more with us" he added.

To stand a chance to win the prizes, existing AFFINBANK customers simply need to maintain an incremental minimum monthly average balance (MAB) of RM2,000 in their accounts throughout the campaign period. MAB is defined as the aggregate credit balances for the month divided by the number of days in that month. Meanwhile, new customers will have to open a new account with an initial deposit of not less than RM2,000.

The contest runs from 1 April to 30 September 2007. Those who are not yet account holders can open an account by visiting any AFFINBANK or AFFINISLAMIC branches nationwide.
