Bank Star One to Test Tell-A-Friend
Promotion
Bank Star Reserves .BANK Domain
As of May 28, Bank Star is one of only 400 institutions
worldwide to have reserved a .BANK domain through the
ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers) international domain registry. The American
Bankers Association-endorsed program will eventually lead
to most banks migrating to the more secure domain. Only
registered banks may sign up for the new domain after an
extensive review and confirmation by international registry
organizations.
The Fulton and New Bloomfield branches of Bank Star One
will test a “Tell-A-Friend” promotion to boost checking account
sign-ups. The campaign, which will begin in early June and
continue through August 31, will offer a $25 MasterCard Gift Card
to any current bank customer who successfully refers a friend to
open a checking account AND Goal Savings account. When the
friend opens their accounts, they too will receive a $25 gift card.
Goal Savings Account
Our current domain www.bank-star.com will continue. We will
most likely re-direct .com inquiries to the new .BANK domain
at some time in the near future. We have reserved both
bankstar.bank and bank-star.bank domains.
With Goal Savings, customers can sweep money
from their Bank Star Checking Account on a
weekly, twice-monthly or monthly basis into their
Goal Savings account.
The account earns interest and customers must
also have a checking account at Bank Star.
Minimum deposit to open is $100. Amount of
regular transfer can be a little as $10. It’s the easy
way to save for new car, a down payment on a
home, college tuition, a vacation or any goal!

Extraordinary
Experiences
and Tales from
the Front Lines
Osage Beach (Hy-Vee) (from a website survey from vsimbro):
Randy and Sharon are awesome, they are always helpful,
informative. Trust them both with any transactions needed.
Fulton (appearing as a Facebook post by customer Jim Clark,
who received a home improvement loan from us): “This wouldn’t
have been possible without the trust and assistance of Bank Star
One. Tim and Victoria made it seem almost effortless. My mother
started banking there back in the 60’s when they were the First
National Bank. They were always good to her and have continued
that practice with me. So a big thank you goes out to you and all
of your staff.”
