Research into the nation's festive spending, commissioned by MBNA, found that 37
percent of consumers (42 percent of females and 31 percent of males) will make a New
Year's resolution to reorganise their finances in January 2014.



The campaign, which consists of a 30-second TV spot that aired for the first time on
Boxing Day during "Gone with the Wind"[1], focuses on MBNA's longest balance transfer
credit card, which offers eligible new customers zero percent interest on balance
transfers and money transfers for up to 29 months from the account opening date[2].



"It's this time of year that we see consumers looking to reorganise their finances,
consolidate any existing debts and seek to save money where they can - with many making a
New Year's resolution to do so," said Michael Donald, Marketing and Commercial Executive
for MBNA.



"The advert takes consumers on a journey through the seasons over a period of 29
months - almost 2 1/2 years - demonstrating the extent of time available to our eligible
customers to better manage their money through our best ever balance transfer offer."



The advert, which runs until February 2, 2014, was created by Tag, part of the
Williams Lea Group, with media buying handled by MEC.

"We're delighted to be bringing the MBNA brand to television screens across the
country once more," added Donald. "This campaign forms part of a broader commitment MBNA
has made to make life easier for those people we are proud to serve, and those we hope to
serve in the future."



Representative example 18.9% p.a. variable on card purchases. Equivalent to 18.9% APR
representative variable based on a credit limit of GBP1200.
