Within its interest in providing its clients with distinctive and innovative services

Amman, October 2009 – In line with its goals of providing exceptional services to all its clients, and as part of its belief in the importance of roadside assistance services, Capital Bank announced the signing of an agreement with the Emirates Jordan Roadside Assistance Company with the aim of providing the Bank's clients with free subscription to the company's Platinum Program.

By virtue of this agreement, Capital Bank's clients will be able to enjoy various benefits free of charge when they subscribe to the Platinum Program that the Bank offers for free. These benefits include full coverage for vehicles on the road, such as a tow service (except in the case of accidents) from any place in the Kingdom and to anywhere that the subscriber wishes to go, and providing a one-day accommodation service in a 5-star hotel if available in the location that the subscriber's vehicle breaks down, given that the vehicle malfunctions at least 100km away from the subscriber's place of residence. The Program also offers a battery jumpstarting service anywhere in the Kingdom; flat tire assistance anywhere in the Kingdom and at the company's own expense; and a gasoline delivery service; an extrication service anywhere within the Kingdom free of charge; in addition to a vehicle licensing service including objections to penalty charge notices.

Commenting on this step, Mr. Raad Abu Rassa', Capital Bank's Marketing, Product Development & Sales Manager, said: "Our cooperation with the Emirates Jordan Roadside Assistance Company is in line with our social responsibility and is in accordance with our future directions in distinguishing our clients from other banks' clients by giving them access to unique services that offer our clients comfort and security wherever they are, especially when on the road." He added: "We are very proud of our partnership with the Emirates Jordan Roadside Assistance Company, which is considered one of the most important companies in the roadside assistance field."
