As promised, our client just received 2 tickets to Arthur Ashe stadium at the 2010 US Open tennis event...courtesy of Chase.  Participating branches in NY, NJ and CT are running a current promotion.  If you have a business checking account, all you have to do is make a qualifying new money deposit into a High Yield savings account to receive your free tickets.  Naturally, the bigger the deposit, the better the tickets - which can include highly coveted tickets to the tournament Finals.  Unfortunately, these particular tickets are not for the Finals, but our client is very appreciative non-the-less!

So, just wanted to say thanks to Chase.  And thanks to Farah, the terrific business banker at 345 Hudson Street for proactively informing us about the promotion.  Now let's work on enhancing some credit lines!

Five years ago, 90 percent of small employers were able to get the capital they needed; and only eight percent were not able to get any credit at all."
