Profireal knows its client No. 100,000

Since 2000 Profireal, a.s. company has provided its clients with more than CZK 9 billion. 

Pardubice, 4 February 2008. The financial company Profireal already knows its client No. 100,000. He is Mr. Jiří Žiga from Karvina, who entered a contract with our company on 6 December 2007. As we announced at the beginning of the competition in November last year, the prize is CZK 100,000. Filip Souček, Executive Director of the Profireal company, when handing over the cheque, noted: “This is a magical threshold for us; therefore we are very glad to award the hundred thousandth client. I believe the trend of the increasing number of customers will continue, and we will have a client No. 200,000 considerably sooner than it took with the first hundred thousand.” 

Last year Profireal provided its clients in the Czech Republic with loans and credits of a total volume of over CZK 1.97 billion. It was CZK 1.65 billion in 2006, which means a year-to-year increase of 19.5%. The overall value of loans and credits provided in the Czech Republic since 2000, when the company started to specialize in non-banking products (200,000 deals including revolving loans), is CZK 9.1 billion. 

At the end of the last year Profireal gave away a hundred mobile phones to its new clients, apart from the 100,000 prize. Every tenth client who entered a loan contract with our company between 1 November and 21 December had the chance to win a new NOKIA 6080mobile phone. “All the winners were sent the phones during January, and I believe we made them happy with this a slightly late Christmas present,” added Filip Souček.
