In a relaxed and delighted atmosphere, Bahrain Islamic Bank has recently received 50 young vevo customers, of both sexes, who won the Gulf Air Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix entry tickets and a single youngster who won an i-Phone as part of the recent promotional campaign launched by the Bank. As part of the promotion, young vevo customers were required to attract their friends to open a vevo account to qualify them to win attractive prizes such as Formula 1 entry tickets. The promotion is set to continue and will offer more attractive prizes such as i-phones,BIC Carting tickets, Wahooo! water park tickets, and much more.

Mrs. Fatima Al Alawi, BisB Retail Banking Assistant General Manager said: "We are pleased to welcome young vevo accountholders who have won the Gulf Air Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix entry tickets and the i-Phone winner, as those young people have contributed to promoting this account through urging friends and relatives to open vevo accounts."

She added: "vevo has not been a special dream for youngsters only but has became a reality that is supported by parents who urge their children to join it. This has been apparent when such young people came accompanied by their parents to receive their Formula 1 prizes. This is what we are looking forward to by approaching all community groups. There is no doubt that the families' support will certainly enhance the role of such products and improve their acceptability in the local community and market as a whole.

The General Assembly approved the reappointment of the external auditors for the 2010 financial year, and also the reappointment of the Sharia'a Supervisory Board.

Concluding, the Retail Banking Assistant General Manager said: "We call upon all young vevo customers to continue their support to the account and to invite their peers to join the scheme. They must also give to the Bank's staff their friends' names and phone numbers to be able to win the attractive prizes offered."
