fp Turks and Caicos

Scotiabank customers in Turks and Caicos now have a chance to win $100 when they bank online.

In a program that began April 16, Scotiabank clients can go online to learn about the benefits and features of online and mobile banking.

By watching videos, customers earn ballots and will be automatically entered into a draw. Clients can up their chances even further by signing up for online or mobile banking where they will earn more ballots and have a higher chance of winning the draw taking place June 30.

“This is an exciting opportunity for our customers to discover the bank’s award winning mobile and online banking services and to learn how to use these tools to their advantage,” said Cecil Arnold, Scotiabank country head. “Online and mobile banking are convenient ways for our clients to do their banking whenever and wherever they want while ensuring the safety and security of their money.”

In 2011, Scotiabank was awarded Best Consumer Internet Bank in 20 Caribbean countries and Best Corporate/Institutional Internet Bank in 11 Caribbean Countries by Global Finance, an internationally renowned monthly magazine, for the most successful and innovative online banking system. The bank was also the first to launch the Mobile Banking App for BlackBerry and iPhone users, which operates on the same advanced security platform as Scotia OnLine.

For those worried about the security of online banking, Scotiabank says online and mobile banking run by banks are as safe to use as the systems in their branches.

“Scotiabank’s online and mobile banking services are supported by a number of security measures to ensure the integrity of transactions and account information,” Arnold said. “For example, the Online Security Guarantee ensures that customers be fully reimbursed in the event that they experience direct financial losses due to unauthorized activity.”
