TS Bank Announces New Kasasa Giving Account
TS Bank and Consumers Collectively Make a Difference with New Checking Account.
- Omaha, NE-IA (1888PressRelease) October 28, 2011 - TS Bank, today announced it is offering the most compassionate banking account on the market, Kasasa Giving, which allows consumers to make charitable giving an integral part of every day.
Kasasa Giving is a free, high interest checking account in which account holders earn money to keep and earn money to donate to their selected charity.
"Kasasa Giving reflects the desire of our community members to give back," said Josh Guttau, president and CFO of TS Bank. "While simply enjoying the way banking is supposed to be, a rich and rewarding experience, Kasasa Giving account holders are able to support charities that they are passionate about."
Like all Kasasa accounts, Kasasa Giving is a free, rewards-based account, featuring nationwide ATM fee refunds, no minimum balance to get the rewards, no monthly service fees and online banking. With Kasasa Giving the account holder earns high interest every time they qualify. Plus, TS Bank will give account holders money for every qualified debit card swipe, to automatically pay forward to the account holder's selected charity. The more consumers use their debit card, the more they help the cause. Charities supported through Kasasa Giving include American Humane Association, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Stand Up to Cancer as well as local charities, including the TS Bank Institute. The TS Bank Institute, established in 2009, is a foundation committed to creating a stronger, more financially savvy future generation through a K-12 financial literacy program.
To get the rewards, each monthly qualification cycle account holders are asked to do a few simple things like use a debit card, sign up to receive monthly eStatements instead of paper, and have an electronic transaction, like direct deposit. If an account holder does not meet the qualifications in a given month, the account is still free, the individual will still earn a base interest rate, and they will be eligible the following month for the benefits.
"Our clients have embraced Kasasa products as a way to personalize banking," added Guttau. "There has been a tremendous response to our current offerings and Kasasa Giving will inevitably add additional value to banking with us."
Kasasa was introduced to the Omaha area in October of 2010 through an aggressive, highly engaging marketing campaign. The campaign, which featured some of America's top slam poets, asks consumers, "Do You Kasasa?" In other words, TS Bank is asking consumers to expect more from their banking relationships.
TS Bank offers other Kasasa banking products, including Kasasa Cash™, Kasasa Saver™ and Kasasa Tunes™ at all of its branches, with locations in Treynor, Council Bluffs, and Macedonia.
• Kasasa Cash - A free checking account that rewards consumers with high interest in cash every month.
• Kasasa Saver - A high interest saver account linked to a Kasasa Cash checking account. The high interest and ATM fee refunds earned in the Kasasa Cash account are automatically deposited into the Kasasa Saver account each month. The balance in the Kasasa Saver account also earns a high rate of interest.
