Poland: Yield High Returns with Citi Handlowy
Warsaw Citi Handlowy introduces a special savings and insurance product combining a life insurance-linked deposit offering a 12% interest rate and a capital fund. That's a special offer for those who will sign up for Globalny Portfel Inwestycyjny (Global Investment Portfolio) or Portfel Funduszy Zagranicznych Euro/Dollar (EUR/USD Foreign Funds Portfolio) insurance plans no later than June 30, 2008.
Citi Handlowy once again responds to the expectations of customers and offers a savings and insurance product linked to a 12% three-moth deposit. The 12% rate of interest will be offered to all Citi Handlowy customers who will decide to sign up for the Globalny Portfel Inwestycyjny (Global Investment Portfolio) or the Portfel Funduszy Zagranicznych Euro/Dollar (EUR/USD Foreign Funds Portfolio) insurance plan by the end of June. "We respond to the needs of our customers who are looking for modern financial solutions. The special offer of Citi Handlowy combines two theoretically contradictory elements: the interest rate guarantee and the possibility of higher returns," says Grzegorz Górski, Head of Retail Products Management and Brokerage Services Division in the Consumer Banking Sector.
The customers who will sign up for the Globalny Portfel Inwestycyjny or the Portfel Funduszy Zagranicznych Euro/Dollar insurance plan within the open enrollment period will be able to open a three-month deposit offering an annual interest rate of 12%. The minimum deposit amount under the special offer is PLN 5,000. On the other hand, in order to benefit from the investment opportunities under the Globalny Portfel Inwestycyjny insurance plan, the minimum investment amount is only PLN 10,000 or EUR/USD 3,500 in case of the Portfel Funduszy Zagranicznych Euro/Dollar plan.
The Globalny Portfel Inwestycyjny and the Portfel Funduszy Zagranicznych Euro/Dollar are products that have a unique and innovative structure. They combine the advantages of insurance and investment products and allow their holders to effectively manage money and take advantage of the benefits offered by an insurance policy. Under the Globalny Portfel Inwestycyjny and the Portfel Funduszy Zagranicznych Euro/Dollar customers can individually determine their investment strategy and transfer funds between insurance capital funds without tax being charged. The Globalny Portfel Inwestycyjny and the Portfel Funduszy Zagranicznych Euro/Dollar insurance plans can be managed via the internet in an easy and secure way.
