Standard Bank launched its new Vehicle and Asset campaign last week to assist the bank's customers with new wheels or assets. Pieter Conradie, the bank's Head of Vehicle and Asset Finance, said Standard Bank’s management realised that people needed vehicles or other assets even though times were tough with increased interest rates and general increases in the costs of all commodities.

He said that was why the bank introduced the new campaign offering a multitude of products such as installment financing for motor vehicles, capital equipment, generators, solar panels, vessels, aircrafts specialized equipment, heavy duty vehicles, fleet management and insurance. Conradie said, for any completed transaction for a loan from Standard Bank Vehicle and Asset Finance between 1 April and 31 May, the customers would be automatically entered into a weekly draw where one could win N$500 and all clients qualified for the draw to win a brand new vehicle. The winner of the car would be announced on 7 June 2008.
