SCB offers 'sweet millions'

JAKARTA (JP): Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) has recently
launched a campaign called "Sweet Millions", which offers
customers the opportunity to win cash and gold prizes valued over
Rp 1 billion (about US$134,000).

Farhard Irani, the head of the consumer banking division for
the bank's Indonesian operation, said on Thursday that at the end
of six month's promotion the bank would have a bumper draw where
five lucky customers would take home cash prizes.

Moreover, customers who maintain a monthly minimum balance of
Rp 50 million in their savings account through March 1999 are
guaranteed to receive an 18-carat gold brooch.

"The Sweet Millions promotion is a customer reward program. In
addition to value-added products and world-class service, we want
to make banking a pleasurable and rewarding experience for our
customers," Irani said, adding that the promotion was held
together with SCB's recent increment of its saving account
interest rates to 30 percent per annum.

London-based SCB has five branch offices in Indonesia and 500
offices in other 50 countries around the world. (gis)
