United Bank Ad (199?)

Ad for United Bank from New Zealand. The bank is long gone now of course, as is the old money featured in the ad.

Year to be confirmed. I am informed by a YouTube user that this ad was made in 1988. The date on the cheque featured in the ad is is 19/11/90, the date on the card appears to be July '92. This is probably intended to be a card for ATM use, as there is no credit card logo. Unsurprisingly, the number also does not pass the usual credit card validation routines.

Yes, there is a slight audio sync problem with this video that is not from the original source, sorry.

wasnt this also a real estate agent?

Yes, I believe there was a real estate agency using the same branding.

I recall this advert being played in 1991...

...as for United, I know the real estate franchise arm absorbed itself into Ray White, while I'm not sure what happened to the Bank...

I've met several NZ 'celebrities' (eg Gary McCormick, Mike King, Charlotte Dawson, Bob Jones) and I've found them all to be down to earth...

Certainly pre 1991, as it has all the old banknotes in it!

Ray White

I had an account with this bank which I opened in 1986. Still have the jingle in my head from that year: U for United and United is for U... Ha, they certainly got to me. I'd say that this ad is from the late 80s to early 90s.

The guy at 19secs name is Greg, I met him on a diving trip..he did a few ad's around this time...I was expecting him to be a stuck up tosspot...he was actually a really cool guy. Hows that for the most useless information in the world.

United Realty existed then they merged with either The progessionals or Ray White - can remember
