Capital Bank Introduces Kasasa, Changing Local Banking
Fort Oglethorpe, GA, February 08, 2012 - Capital Bank asks consumers, “Do you Kasasa?” as it becomes the first financial institution in Georgia to launch the country’s most innovative financial products.
Kasasa® is a new brand of free checking and savings accounts that pays consumers to use their account with what interests them most—high interest or cash back. These accounts, combined with the personal service that only community financial institutions can deliver, are offering residents a better checking account option than the mega bank experience.
“Consumers deserve to wake up to happier days of banking and leave behind the nightmare of mega bank fees and mistreatment. We are pleased to be the first in Georgia to offer these unique products” said Dr, Joe Haskins, CEO at Capital Bank. “Kasasa delivers what research shows people really want but believe they can’t have—great financial products with the personal service of a community based financial institution.”
Capital Bank is offering two Kasasa financial products, including Kasasa Cash® and Kasasa Cash Back™. All Kasasa products are free, reward-based accounts, with no minimum balance to get the rewards, no monthly service fees, online banking and nationwide ATM fee refunds.
Kasasa Cash - A free checking account that pays high interest for every month the account holder qualifies.
Kasasa Cash Back - A free checking account that rewards account holders with major cash back on everyday debit card purchases, without points or category restrictions like the big guys. The cash back amount is based on how much consumers spend on each debit card transaction as well as their average daily balance.
To receive the Kasasa account benefits, each monthly qualification cycle account holders are asked to do a few simple things like, receive an eStatement, use a debit card a minimum number of times and have an electronic transaction (such as direct deposit) post and clear their account. If an account holder does not meet the qualifications in a given month, Capital Bank will alert the individual, who will be eligible the following month for the benefits.
“Extensive research has shown us that consumers would prefer to do business with community financial institutions, but feel they would lose access to products,” continued Dr. Haskins, “Kasasa is opening people’s eyes to a new banking model where no sacrifices are necessary. It’s a win-win because account holders get innovative products and personalized service.”
In 2009, Kasasa was piloted in six other markets across the U.S. In just the first two months of offering Kasasa, participating community financial institutions reported growth rates upwards of 150% on new account openings and 372% in deposits at institutions focused on deposit growth.
Kasasa is being introduced with an aggressive, highly engaging marketing campaign. It comes to life through a fresh mix of eye-popping advertising, the likes of which exceed the typical mega bank’s high-budget programs. The ads feature America’s top slam poets www.kasasa.com/news-and-media/advertising riffing lyrical threads around the theme of “Do you Kasasa?”
Kasasa is distributed to Capital Bank from BancVue, the leading provider of innovative products, dynamic marketing, and data-driven consulting solutions to community financial institutions nationwide to help them win the war against the megabanks.
