Through its booth at the Fair, the Bank will market the YOU package, which targets young people aged 15 to 25 years, giving them the opportunity to open an account for only 10 KD. Furthermore, the YOU package offers several exclusive benefits, including a cash gift of 50 KD upon first transfer of the student’s allowance - subject to terms and conditions - and a cashback of up to 10% on purchases inside and outside Kuwait when using the YOU prepaid card.  The YOU prepaid card provides its holders with exclusive offers and discounts throughout the year, in line with their requirements. The customer can top up the card in multiple currencies and choose the appropriate currency for purchases outside Kuwait. The YOU package enables young people to manage their accounts easily. In addition, they can request their cards via the CBK Mobile App without having to visit the branch.”
