‘It’s been four weeks since our special New Year’s Tale project was launched, and increasingly more customers keep winning the prizes awarded by the bank. This means the happy holiday spirit brings the winter holiday season even closer,’ the bank’s press officer reports.

‘People normally exchange gifts and come up with all sorts of surprises for their nearest and dearest at New Year. However, getting a present before the holiday comes is even nicer, as it makes the wait itself so much more exciting. This is why we are giving out our presents now, and we get more and more winners every day,’ says the Ural Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s executive Olga Sazonova.

Money prizes have already been awarded to some dwellers of Yekaterinburg, Sukhoi Log, Krasnoturinsk, Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Perm, Sterlitamak, Kirov, and Snezhinsk.

The Ural Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s New Year’s Tale project is being carried out between October 27, 2008 and December 24, 2008. Any customer who opens, reopens, or keeps his or her deposit at the Ural Bank for Reconstruction and Development can take part in the prize-winning lottery. The bank awards 5,000 RUR on a daily basis, a Hyundai Accent every week in November, and trips to various destinations every week in December.

Over eighteen money prizes and four cars have been awarded throughout the project’s run. Twenty more customers will get money prizes and four customers will win a trip to any country before the end of December.
