FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

You be the bank, we'll provide internet and phone banking

BARNSLEY, Yorks, GB - Jan 01, 2003 (ZUUK Ltd) - A small
company, based in the old mining town of Barnsley, South Yorkshire,
have recently launched a totally UNIQUE service via the internet and
mobile phones to teach children the "lost" art of saving up for things
and making donations to charity.

The site provides children with their own internet bank account, whilst
their parents or guardians act as the bank.  To encourage saving,
parents can have pocket money automatically added to the account, and
can promise a tangible rate of interest should the money remain unspent
for a week.  To encourage charity donations, children can opt to "give
as they earn", by pledging a portion of their pocket money to a charity
of THEIR choice.  Parents can further encourage this by promising to
match these pledges with their own money.

The website provides the usual facilities of internet banking:
statements, transactions, interest etc. in addition to which it also
offers:
* access to the accounts from the shops using a WAP-enabled mobile phone
* tailor-made graphs showing future projected growth of a child's savings
* tracking of a child's "wish list"
* an estimate of the date at which the child will have saved enough to
  buy the item at the top of their "wish list".

The site is funded using a similar model to that of the famous "Friends
Reunited" website.  A small subscription fee will enable a family
to run an internet bank for their children for a whole year.  To
reinforce the charitable and educational spirit of the site, the company
is donating 10% of each subscription charge to children's charities.
