In first two months of contest, Wachovia customers have opted to 'go
paperless' for more than 600,000 monthly account documents
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wachovia today
announced that Candace Ritz, owner of Furkids, Inc. in East Brunswick,
N.J., has won a luxury hybrid, the first of three monthly grand prizes in
Wachovia Online Services' Make A Statement sweepstakes.
"We're excited to award the first of our three grand prizes to a
long-time customer," said David H. Stone, director of Online Customer
Experience. "With a few weeks still remaining in the contest, we encourage
our customers to continue partnering with Wachovia as we promote
environmental stewardship by reducing paper consumption, and give away some
great prizes too."
The national contest, which runs from July 1 through Sept. 30, enables
customers to reduce paper consumption by enrolling in secure, electronic
versions of their Wachovia account documents, including free Online
Statements, eBills and Brokerage eDocuments. Through the end of August,
Wachovia customers had opted to receive paperless versions of more than
600,000 incremental monthly account documents, which will result in the
saving of more than 150,000 pounds of paper a year.
As part of the Make A Statement sweepstakes, Wachovia is selecting a
monthly grand prize winner for July, August and September. Each of these
monthly winners is given the choice of either one luxury hybrid or two
compact hybrids. In addition, a total of 18 vacation packages (or the cash
equivalent) will be awarded to second and third place winners at the
completion of the campaign.
Ritz, a Wachovia personal checking customer since high school, said she
had recently enrolled her new company in Online Banking and Online
Statements because of the convenience of managing her business finances
online. Ritz added that she enjoys the BillPay feature because "I get my
bills paid on time, and that is one less thing to worry about as a small
business owner."
