the children had fun with the Smurfs, photos taken too.

the Smurfs collectable mugs are given for opening new or top up current or savings accounts min RM3k.
Bank not pushing for new childrens' accounts but enticing new current/savings or top ups to existing accounts.
why not, Smurfs bring in the kids, parents tag along, kids eye collectables, parents open new accounts or top up, get collectables, kids happy n enjoyed the morning.
you can say that it's just a gimmick to draw in the crowd, but it works.
