lank Of America To Oregonians
September 15, 1994-Bank of
America introduced major service
enhancements and guaranteeing to
beat its competitors' consumer loan
and CD rates as part of an aggressive
statewide initiative to improve bank
ing for Oregonians.
"W e’ve listened carefully to
what people want in a banking rela
tionship and we’re going farther than
any bank in the state’s history to
deliver it,” said BofA Chairman W
Charles Armstrong.
"We’re asking Oregonians to
compare our services with those of
their current bank and simply choose
the better bank,”
Armstrong said BofA hopes to
attract customers with an unprec
edented set of offers most beginning
this month and good through 1994.
Leading the list is the bank’s promise
to beat any published rate on auto,
home equity, boat or RV loan in the
state by 10 percent (10 basis points).
The offer applies to any secured fixed-
rate installment loan. The bank also
will beat the published CD rates of its
Oregon competitors by the same mar
gin. Other offers include two years of
personal or business checking with
out fees.
The bank is also adding a long
list of service enhancements:
Extending Home Loan By Phone
service by four hours daily. Home
buyers can now apply for mortgages
seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9
pm . — virtually anytime they find the
home they want. BofA introduced
Home Loan By Phone to Oregon last
year and now four of five customers
choose to apply for mortgages by
telephone. The response has helped
win BoA the largest share of the
state’s home lending market.
Adding money-back service
guarantees. BofA has extended its
list of service guarantees, including a
new $5 to customers who wait more
than five minutes for services at its
branches. “Customers like the fact
that we put our money where our
mouth is,” said Armstrong, who said
the guarantees were among the bank's
most popular service innovations
ever.
L aunching B ankA m ericard
Photo Care. Intended to cut down on
credit card fraud, the photo card in
cludes the card holer’s color portrait
and signature to discourage unautho
rized use. Armstrong said the card,
available as Visa or MasterCard, is
proving a hit with Oregonians.
Opening accounts by telephone.
BofA’s popular 24-hour telephone
banking service will allow custom
ers to open checking and savings
accounts from their home or office
anytime. They need only call 1-800-
USE-BofA (1-800-873-2632).
Adding ATMs one a week. Bank
of America already operates the most
free ATMs and will add another lo
cation every week through the end of
1995. The new Versateller machines
build on BofA’s distinction as hav
ing the largest ATM network in the
West.
The bank’s enhancements and
offers are being announced in an
aggressive advertising campaign that
suggest to Oregonians: .Improve
Your Banking: Choose Bank of
America.” The campaign—the most
extensive in BofA’s four-year his
tory in Oregon-highlights what the
bank is hearing from consumers and
how it is responding with ways they
can improve their banking.
Although the newly announced
improvements and offers present a
challenge tocompetitors, Armstrong
emphasized that BofA’s attention is
focused on meeting consumer de
mands.
“W e’ve been listening closely
to what consumers need and want
from their bank, and these new rates
and service innovations are just our
latest response,” Armstrong said.
He added that other enhance
ments and offers are planned through
the end of the year and into 1995.
Trainings Offered To Enable Childcare
Providers To Serve Disabled Children
The Arc of Multnomah has an
nounced that it has been joined by
Oregon Health Sciences University
in offering their innovative KICS
training to childcare providers
throughout the state of Oregon. As
part of this unique partnership and
for a limited time, the trainings will
be offered at no charge, with the cost
to participants absorbed by OHSU.
KICS, or Kids in Community
Settings, is acomprehensive training
which enables childcare providers to
acquire skills needed to include chil
dren with developmental Disabili
ties in childcare programs already in
place. The training, which was de
veloped by The Arc of Multnomah
under a grant from the Oregon De
velopmental Disabilities Council, is
equally adaptable for childcare cen
ter staff including those in work-site
facilities, and family childcare pro
viders.

Low- and middle-income home
buyers having difficulty with the
down payment can now finance with
as little as 3% down through GMAC
Mortgage. The program was recently
offered on a test basis in nine cities to
determine its appeal to first-time
home buyers.
"W e've been delighted with the
response since the program's intro
duction in the nine cities,” says Mark
Korell. president and chief executive
officer of the GMAC Mortgage
Group. "W e’ve now decided to com-
mit $50 million to offer the program
nationwide.”
The 3% program is sim ilar to
Fannie M ae’s popular C om m u
nity Home B u y er’s Program , in
which GM AC M ortgage also p ar
ticipates. Like C om m unity Home
B uyer’s, the program allow s bor
row ers easier qualifying through
flexible debt to incom e standards
and low er closing costs. It also
shares the hom e buyer education
requirem ent that m ade C om m u
nity Home B uyer’s unique. But
the 3% down option is different
in that Com m unity Hom e B uyer’s
allow s down paym ents to be that
low only if additional down pay
ment money is supplied from a
gift or unsecured loan or if the
property is located in one o f sev
eral targeted urban centers. This
is aco n v en tio n al fixed rate m ort
gage not involving governm ent
housing program s.
“The 3% down program is open
ing the housing market for more and
more families,” says Korell. “The
principal challenge for most people
who want a home is still coming up
with the money for closing costs.
Reducing a down payment is one of
the strongest steps we can make to
help home buyers.”
For information on the 3% down
program, call the GMAC Mortgage
location nearest you.
