Chase Rewards Customers Who Do More Business with Bank

Chase Exclusives gives checking customers better rates, more rewards, bigger discounts

NEW YORK, June 2008 - Chase today announced one of the banking industry’s widest ranging package of rewards to encourage checking account customers to expand their relationship with one of America’s most convenient banks.

Chase Exclusives is a comprehensive program that provides all Chase checking accounts holders better rates, more rewards and bigger discounts on nearly all other products offered through the branch.

“Our checking customers are the foundation of our business,” said Michael Cleary, head of product development and marketing for Chase’s Consumer Bank. “So, we created Chase Exclusives to deepen our relationship by delivering benefits that are real, quantifiable and immediate. A customer could be ahead by $2,000 or more over time simply by using Chase for basic financial needs such as a mortgage, home equity line, and certificates of deposit.”

Consumers can take advantage of these offers through Chase’s convenient network of more than 3,100 branches. In the last two years, Chase has added nearly 3,500 personal bankers and specialists - mortgage officers, business bankers and investment representatives - to its branches to help customers manage their money and achieve their dreams.

Starting this month, Chase checking customers are rewarded through:

A discount of 0.25 or 0.50 percent on the interest rate of a home equity loan or line of credit:
