Hello bank! partners with Tomorrowland

Hello bank! shares with Tomorrowland the same forward-looking attitude and the same determination to meet customers’ changing needs and expectations. Hello bank!, the bank for the mobile generation, is therefore linking up with Tomorrowland and will be helping to make this international music festival, which this year takes place on 26-28 July, a great success.

Easy payments at the festival

As well as being able to activate the Hello bank! app at the event site, festival-goers will also be able to take advantage of another innovative service: a pre-paid card. Festival-goers are increasingly looking for a simple and safe all-in-one solution for making payments at the venue. The pre-paid card provides the ideal solution, enabling the 2,000 fans attending the festival in Boom to take advantage of this highly convenient way of settling up their on-site expenses. In addition, two Hello bank! terminals will be available for use at the venue.

Hello bank! and Tomorrowland intend to expand their cooperation over the coming years, enabling the two partners to take full advantage of a number of mobile innovations.

Bloggers’ contest for innovative smartphone uses

In keeping with its founding principles, Hello bank! is keen to promote the mobile lifestyle and to come up with original, innovative ways for festival-goers to make optimal use of their smartphone. The ‘bank in an app’ is therefore encouraging Belgium’s digital community to submit their ingenious ideas. “We’re reaching out specifically to Belgian bloggers, who see their smartphone or tablet as an extension of their personality,” explains Tom Kestens of Hello bank! Belgium,” adding: “We’ll be offering five bloggers the opportunity to try out their idea during the Tomorrowland event and to share their experiences before, during and after the event.”

Full information on the competition can be found on the Hello bank! Facebook page.

Photo competition for Hello bank! customers

Hello bank! also has something special to offer its new customers. All customers have already received an exclusive invitation to take part in the Tomorrowland photo competition, winners to receive a combi ticket giving access for two people to the three days of the festival.

To take part, customers just need to produce a creative photo incorporating the competition ticket, publish it on the Hello bank! Facebook page, and write a short message explaining why they think they ought to win the competition. Contestants will then have to try to attract as many ‘Like’s for their photo as possible. Each week, a jury will judge the creativity, originality and style of the photos posted and the contestants’ messages, and on that basis select the winners.
