smile launches competition for internet banking users

Wed, 21 Jun 2006

Internet banking company smile is offering anyone joining during the World Cup a place in a competition for a "fabulous holiday".

The company will provide a trip to the country which lifts the trophy, so Brazil, Argentina, or possibly even England could be the destination.

The winner will be chosen at random from its new internet banking customers and will receive £5,000 Travelcare vouchers to spend on the holiday.

David Newman, director of marketing at smile, said: "This offer will allow new customers of smile to follow other teams with extra interest throughout the World Cup."

"It may even result in some watching games with a holiday brochure in their hands hoping that they will score with the holiday of a lifetime."

The internet banking provider also asserts that it offers a wide range of "attractive accounts" to UK residents.

Also provided by the company are credit cards, mortgages and savings accounts, in addition to internet banking.

The company also states that as the internet banking arm of the Co-operative Group it has a strong ethical policy including support for other organisations that help conservation and the environment and refusing to bank businesses whose core activity contributes to climate change.

Co-operative Insurance recently installed wind turbines on its Manchester office and solar panels on its London HQ.
