Kuwait, July 15, 2006: Thousands of young Gulf Bank customers and their families enjoyed a day of fun and games at Kuwait's Aqua Park earlier this month.

Sponsored by Gulf Bank, the July 7th event was open to holders of Nassour and Boom bank accounts and their families.  A total of more than four thousand visitors attended the free fun day. They enjoyed a musical band and DJ, paintball, go-kart rides and raffle draws. "Nassour" himself was there to greet the children while Gulf Bank staff distributed gifts including Nassour and Boom t-shirts and caps. The event concluded at 10 pm with a spectacular fireworks display.

Gulf Bank, Kuwait's second largest commercial bank, is the only bank in Kuwait offering savings accounts for junior customers. Parents can sign up their children for the Nassour bank account from the day they are born until the age of six. The Boom account is available for children from the ages of seven to 13, while teenagers aged from 14 to 17 are eligible for the Freedom bank account.

"Gulf Bank has designed the Nassour and Boom bank accounts to be both fun and educational, encouraging children to save from an early age. The Bank recommends that parents deposit at least KD 5 into their child's bank account each month," Ebtihaj Al Roumi, Youth Manager for Gulf Bank said.

"The free fun day at Aqua Park was a terrific way of rewarding families for making an investment in their children's future. It was a great family day out." She added.
