The launch of Univest’s high-interest, online banking solution also features a chance to win $10,000.
SOUDERTON, Pa., April 30, 2008 – Univest National Bank and Trust Co. (NASDAQ: UVSP) today announced the launch of UnivestOne.com, a high-interest, online banking solution offering individuals a convenient way to do their banking. As part of the launch, Univest National Bank and Trust Co. is holding a $10,000 sweepstakes.
“While we’ve been offering online solutions for several years, UnivestOne.com simplifies the process for consumers while offering the same convenient, high-interest-yielding accounts that some of the national online banks are providing,” said Eric W. Conner, vice president and director of e-commerce for Univest National Bank and Trust Co. “But, UnivestOne.com provides one added benefit: For consumers who are looking for a convenient, high-interest, online banking solution; dozens of local offices that offer great products and exceptional service; and a bank that has been committed to their community for more than 130 years, Univest has what they’re looking for.”
UnivestOne.com features an Anytime Online Savings Account, an Anytime Online Checking Account and a one-year, high-yield certificate of deposit (CD). The account benefits include free online banking with access to account balances; free online bill payment; free e-statements; free funds transfers between accounts or from other banks, and access to 32,000 surcharge free Allpoint ATMs nationwide.
“The launch of UnivestOne.com aligns with our mission to continue to be a leader in the markets we serve by adapting our banking solutions to meet the financial needs of consumers today,” said Annette D. Szygiel, chief experience officer, senior vice president and director of marketing for Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania. “By integrating our current e-commerce offerings into our local markets, our goal is to attract new, local depositors who traditionally would have taken their business outside of our community to find an attractive online solution. UnivestOne.com is the solution. And, if that’s not enough, were giving away $10,000 in order to attract the public to UnivestOne.com and see the competitive solutions we have to offer.”
Univest’s $10,000 sweepstakes is being held from April 30, 2008 through August 31, 2008. The winner of the sweepstakes, which requires no purchase, must be 18 years or older and reside in Pennsylvania. The $10,000 will be directly deposited into the winner’s bank account.
