Community National Bank of the Lakeway Area Now Rockin' Kasasa Tunes

MORRISTOWN, TN, September 04, 2010 (Press-News.org) Community National Bank of the Lakeway Area, one of the first financial institutions in the country to launch Kasasa , the first and only collection of bank accounts that actually takes an interest in account holders, today introduces the most innovative account on the market, Kasasa Tunes . Kasasa Tunes is a free checking account that gives consumers free downloads from iTunes every month. It is designed for those with a passion for music and media, who want to be rewarded with free downloads, including music, books, movies and iPhone or iPod applications.

"For those that want something different from their banking relationship, we wanted to offer our customers a fresh, hip account that puts the fun in banking," said Sam Grigsby, Jr., CEO of Community National Bank of the Lakeway Area. "Now Kasasa customers can use their monthly downloads to check out a new band or the latest remix, or enjoy television shows, movies, iPhone and iPod applications."

Like all Kasasa accounts, Kasasa Tunes offers free checking, nationwide ATM fee refunds, no minimum balance, no monthly fees and free online banking in addition to the downloads.

Account holders receive rewards by doing a few simple things every month, like using a debit card, accessing online banking and signing up to receive monthly e-statements instead of paper. If an account holder does not meet the qualifications in a given month, the account is still free and they will be eligible the following month for the benefits.

Kasasa was introduced to the Morristown area on May 25, 2010 through an aggressive, highly engaging marketing campaign. The campaign, which featured some of America's top slam poets, asks consumers, "Do You Kasasa?" In other words, Community National Bank of the Lakeway Area is asking consumers to expect more from their banking relationships.

"Our customers are thoroughly enjoying Kasasa offerings because they speak to their lifestyle, and Kasasa Tunes continues to support that movement," added Grigsby. "The Kasasa launch has been successful for our bank and has been met with widespread support from the community."

Community National Bank of the Lakeway Area offers other Kasasa banking products, including Kasasa Cash and Kasasa Saver :

• Kasasa Cash - A free checking account that pays high interest in cash every month.
• Kasasa Saver - A high interest saver account linked to a Kasasa Cash checking account. The high interest and ATM fee refunds earned in the Kasasa Cash account are automatically deposited into the Kasasa Saver account each month. The balance in the Kasasa Saver account also earns a high rate of interest.
