Commercialbank's Salary Transfer Campaign completed its 4th month successfully, with the announcement of a new group of 41 winners chosen through a draw held at Commercialbank's Head Office in the presence of the Ministry of Economy and Commerce representatives and the bank's senior staff.

The campaign, which started in February 2008 and will continue till the end of June 2008, is considered to be a unique opportunity for those who transfer their salaries to Commercialbank to benefit from the campaign prizes and the financial services offered to its salaried customers.

The aim of the campaign is to reward customers who choose to transfer their salaries to Commercialbank. Upon opening the account, applicants receive an instant gift of an MP3 Creative Player set with speakers and holder. In addition, they are eligible to be enrolled in monthly draws for a chance to double their first month salary and win one of the 40 iPod Touch units on offer every month. All existing Commercialbank customers with salaries above QR 7,500/- transferred into their account are also eligible in the monthly draws.

In total, 164 customers have been selected as winners in the four draws held so far and an opportunity for a new group of 41 winners is offered in the final draw, which will take place in July 2008.

Salary transfer to a Commercialbank account is easy. Customers can apply at the 22 conveniently located branches and Pavilions at the shopping malls with a salary transfer letter from their employer and their ID copy. Salaries are then credited automatically by the employer to the account giving the customer instant access to their money.

The winners, who were invited for a prize ceremony at Bin Omran branch and received by Commercialbank senior management, expressed their appreciation for the initiative and for the quality services offered at Commercialbank.
