HSBC hits right note with student savers

HSBC hits right note with student savers

HSBC is offering a free MP3 player to freshman students who open an account with the bank before October.

HSBC is offering musical incentives to students commencing university education this year if they choose to use their account services.

The bank is offering a free 512mb MP3 player to all first year students who open an account before October 8th.

The MP3 player can hold the same amount of songs as the popular iPod Shuffle ? around 480 tracks.

On an educational level, the MP3 player can allow students to record up to 64 hours of lectures and can store coursework files for computer transfer.

"We have come a long way since 1985 when we gave students four blank cassette tapes when they opened an account with us, but we were on the right track," commented the student banking manager at HSBC, Trina Smith.

"Music is an integral part of student life and an MP3 player is something that our student customers will really enjoy using - and could even help them save money," she added.

Ms Smith said so far more than 75 per cent of first year students opening accounts have chosen the player as their incentive.
