usbank.com More Spanish-Speaking Friendly.

U.S. Bank has made it easier for Spanish speaking individuals to apply for checking or savings accounts online by making the applications available in Spanish at http://www.usbank.com/espanol.

“The Internet is a popular tool by which bilingual or Spanish-speaking individuals research banks and obtain information on financial products. That’s why it’s important for us to make it easy for consumers to take action and apply right there on the Internet if they choose,” said Steve SaLoutos, senior vice president of consumer products and services at U.S. Bank.

The development of a Spanish-language account application on the Internet is the latest in a long line of services designed specifically for multicultural customers. U.S. Bank recently expanded its money transfer capabilities when it signed a partnership with MoneyGram to offer international money transfers from U.S. Bank branches.
