The weekend fiesta proved to be an ultra-engaging occasion where Cyrus Broacha explored the dream world of sbiINTOUCH. He was mesmerised when otherwise lengthy processes like opening a bank account took exactly 5 minutes. After an instant account opening, it was Cyrus’s turn to get his debit card issued. Just when he thought it will arrive at his postal address in ten days, he saw the sbiINTOUCH associate hand over Cyrus’s personalised debit card within ten minutes. Cyrus was speechless!
There was more to impress Cyrus at the sbiINTOUCH Weekend Fiesta. An interactive dream wall at sbiINTOUCH store granted Cyrus’ wish to buy his dream car with an instant in-principle loan approval packed with some expert advice from a remote expert on the best way to plan his finances. Cyrus, who never fails to charm everyone with his wisecracks was charmed himself with sbiINTOUCH’s interface.
