Bangkok--11 Jan--Bangkok Bank
Bangkok Bank is encouraging Thai children to get in the savings habit by depositing equal amounts of money every month for 24 consecutive months in a Sinmathaya Subthawee-Bualuang Kids or Sinmathaya Subthawee account to get a higher interest rate than a regular fixed deposit account and tax-free interest benefits once the full deposit term is complete. A Bualuang Blink Blink Piggy Bank valued at Baht 80 is being given away for every new account that is opened with an initial deposit of Baht 2,000. The offer runs from today to 29 February 2016 or while supplies last.
Bangkok Bank Director and Executive Vice President Dr. Thaweelap Rittapirom said "the bank would like to invite Thai children to get into the savings habit by depositing equal amounts of money every month for 24 consecutive months with a Sinmathaya Subthawee-Bualuang Kids or Sinmathaya Subthawee account. These accounts offer a higher interest rate than a regular fixed deposit account and tax-free interest benefits. The current interest rate is 2.25%, which represents a premium of 0.75% on the interest rate for a 12-month fixed deposit account".
In addition to offering a special interest rate, the bank will help them to save by offering a Bualuang Blink Blink Piggy Bank valued at Baht 80, which will be given to a customer who opens a new Sinmathaya Subthawee or Sinmathaya Subthawee-Bualuang Kids account with an initial deposit of Baht 2,000. The offer runs from today to 29 February 2016, or while supplies last.
Deposits must be made monthly as agreed with the bank via a branch, Bualuang ATM, CDM, Bualuang Phone, Bualuang iBanking, Bualuang mBanking or with a Standing Order. Deposits must be made by the last working day of the bank in order to ensure compliance with tax–free conditions and regulations.
