    Harris Launches Chicago Bulls Checking Package
    New Package Builds on Strategic Partnership

    CHICAGO, February 23, 2009 -Harris today announced the launch of its Bulls checking package. The checking package offers personal checking customers a number of benefits, including bonuses on deposits, such as Certificate of Deposits and other savings accounts and, for qualified customers, discounts on loans.

    The package also includes a monthly Bulls fan prize drawing beginning in March. In addition, new personal checking customers will receive a branded checkbook cover and the first box of Bulls branded checks free. Customers will have the chance to win Bulls game tickets, a pre-game shoot around and autographed Bull merchandise. To get the drawing’s official rules, including alternate methods of entry, and see specific information on prizes, discounts and bonuses, please visit www.harrisbank.com/bulls .

    “Harris has a terrific partnership with the Chicago Bulls and our ability to offer this new package as a part of that partnership further underscores the benefits our customers will receive,” said Chris McComish, executive vice president, Head of Retail Banking for Harris. “Customers will continue to have flexibility in choosing a checking account that meets their specific needs, while also enjoying unique and beneficial opportunities related to the Chicago Bulls. In this current market, we can all benefit from savings on loans and bonuses on deposits, but also enjoy supporting one of our hometown teams.”

    Harris became the presenting sponsor and “Official Bank of the Chicago Bulls” in October of 2007. As part of the sponsorship, Harris has also been involved with a number of the Bulls’ community outreach activities, including the Community Hero of the Game and the Adopt-A-School programs.

    “The Chicago Bulls are most excited to be working with Harris to offer our fans this great new offer and with the opportunity for our fans to further demonstrate their loyalty and affinity for their favorite NBA team,” said Steve Schanwald, EVP Business Operations. “Our relationship with the great people at Harris just keeps getting better and better, and we can’t thank them enough for yet another example of their support of Chicago’s hometown NBA team.”
