Zions Bank Launches Spanish Version of Web Site

SALT LAKE CITY, May 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zions Bank today
announced the launch of a Spanish language version of its Internet site,
http://www.zionsbank.com/espanol.

The Web site is targeted at the growing
number of Latinos making financial transactions online. Nationally, 76
percent of bilingual Latinos use the Internet, according to a 2007 report
by the Pew Hispanic Center. Other studies indicate Hispanic entry into the
online marketplace is outpacing that of the general market.

More than 100 individual Web pages on the site allow consumers to
compare a variety of personal and business banking products to select the
best choices for their unique needs. The site allows users to locate branch
offices, read about Spanish-speaking community bankers along the Wasatch
Front, and learn financial tips. Also included are "Su Futuro Financiero"
consumer education columns written by Zions Bank's Sylvia Haro.

Businesses can take advantage of information about treasury management
services and international banking in Spanish. The pages also feature local
Latino-owned businesses that have been highlighted on Zions Bank's
"Negocios en Accion" weekly radio feature, also hosted by Haro.

"Zions Bank's new Spanish Web site helps reinforce our commitment to
serving the Latino community, and its launch coincides with the bank's
efforts to expand its services for Hispanics to even more branch locations
this year," said Joe Reyna, multicultural retail region president.
Plans are underway to continue expanding the content and features
available online in Spanish.

"Because more than half of Zions Bank's personal account holders are
enrolled in Internet Banking, we know it is a convenient service that now
can be used by our increasingly diverse customer base, including those who
prefer making financial transactions in Spanish," said Carl Snyder,
president of Zions Internet Banking.
