20 Santander Contest Winners Attended VIP Reception with Robert De Niro and Private Film Screening at the Tribeca Film Festival

Santander Bank, N.A. announced the winners of the Santander Tribeca Film Festival Sweepstakes. As part of its inaugural sponsorship of the Festival, Santander gave away tickets to a VIP reception attended by Robert De Niro and a private screening of Loitering with Intent, directed by Adam Rapp.

 

“We’re delighted that we were able to share the Tribeca Film Festival experience with movie fans throughout our Northeast footprint,” said Josephine Moran, Santander region president for New York and Northern New Jersey. “The hundreds of thousands of people who come to New York City each year for the Tribeca Film Festival contribute to the city’s economy by staying at local hotels and visiting neighborhood businesses and restaurants. Our sponsorship of the Tribeca Film Festival also helps stimulate the local economy, while contributing to the celebration of arts and culture that make the Festival so unique.”

The interaction is designed to promote Santander’s award-winning extra20 checking account, the only checking account in the United States that pays customers $20 each month simply for making at least $1,500 in direct deposits and paying at least two bills online during the same period—with no monthly fee and no minimum balance required.

 

The Santander Tribeca Film Festival Sweepstakes was open to consumers 18 years of age or older who are legal residents of Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania or Rhode Island.
