By: Audrey Cohen As part of a multi-faceted, interactive marketing campaign, Bethpage Federal Credit Union announces the launch of an interactive micro site, www.freecheckingforlongisland.com, inviting Long Islanders to voice their frustrations about the big banks’ addition of new fees on their existing checking accounts. The site includes links to relevant news stories, details about Bethpage Bonus Checking - Bethpage’s new free checking account launched this past summer, and motivational information to help encourage consumers to fight back! “The demand for a free checking product is high on Long Island. Consumers are looking to save money wherever they can and are not used to paying for what used to be a free checking account. Since its launch, more than 33,000 members are now benefiting from Bethpage Bonus Checking. With no hidden fees or restrictions, it’s simple and free and consumers like that,” said Gerard Schmitt, Vice President, Marketing, Bethpage Federal Credit Union. Bethpage Bonus Checking is completely free. It features no monthly service or maintenance fees, no minimum balance requirement, no per check charges, free VISA Check card, free online and mobile banking, and free online bill pay. Plus, it offers an added bonus of 1.00% interest for each month the member meets basic transactional requirements. When members sign up for online banking with “eStatements,” “In this economy, we are able to offer consumers some relief from the constant nickel-and-diming that takes place in the banking arena,” said Schmitt. “Many Long Islanders understand Bethpage as a strong alternative to traditional banks. This interactive marketing campaign will surely help educate the others.” Bethpage maintains branch locations in Bay Shore, Bethpage, Central Islip, Commack, Elmont, Farmingdale, Freeport, Glen Cove, Hempstead, Huntington, Levittown, Lynbrook, Massapequa, Melville, Mineola, North Babylon, Port Jefferson, Riverhead, Seaford, Smithtown, Roosevelt and Westbury with over 250 surcharge-free ATMs in King Kullen, 7-Eleven, Walgreen’s and Costco locations throughout Long Island.
