KNOXVILLE – First Tennessee has recently launched “Digital Banking 2.0”, a completely upgraded platform for online and mobile banking with leading edge features. To celebrate the launch of the enhanced Digital Banking 2.0, First Tennessee is giving customers two ways to win money with the First Tennessee Sweepstakes and First Tennessee Challenge game.  First is a $10,000 sweepstakes available to those who enter. The second component is a downloadable game that will be played through a new First Tennessee Challenge app that is available in Apple’s App Store and Google Play.

 

The game will be active in the Knoxville area from September 15 through September 21.

In addition, First Tennessee will host a “Pop Up Bash” at Volunteer Village on the UT campus near Humanities Plaza this Saturday, September 17 from 8:30am to noon. There will be a giant inflatable Hamilton (First Tennessee’s “mascot” piggy bank) and giveaways, games, and  a special game challenge that can only be unlocked by visiting the pop-up bash.

 

There will be prizes awarded for the top 3 people (have the most points) in the Knoxville area:

  • 1st place – $2000
