PerkStreet Financial

The PerkStreet Lounge was open all weekend and we got the chance to introduce ourselves from Williamsburg and tell them how to get access to tons of free surcharge-free ATMs and awesome debit card perks.

We had a great party on Friday night to kick off the arrival of PerkStreet to 303Grand!

Laurie from PerkStreet thanked everyone for coming and around 200 people stuffed themselves into the space, milling around, happily perusing the art exhibition curated by Carrie Schupper & Aliya Naumoff, featuring the works of Nick Zinner (guitarist from the Grammy nominated band Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Scott Alger, Conrad Keeley (from the band And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead), Dominic Episcopo, Shen Plum, Dan-An Kim, Matthew McMullen Smith, Jess Rotter and many others.

Entitled ‘Art that Rocks’, the exhibition focuses on music, one of the great perks that PerkStreet offers. We served up Beerlao, Zico coconut water and coffee all night long. To highlight the night, James Iha, from the Smashing Pumpkins, often considered the quiet one in the band, made an appearance to support his friend curating the show. We tried to cop a snap of him but he politely declined – a few tears from us but then that’s the crazy fan inside what can we say.

We opened the PerkStreet Lounge at noon today and we’re pretty excited to introduce ourselves to the neighborhood. We hope you’ll stop by and check it out.

The Lounge will be open Thursday-Sunday from noon-8pm through November 21st.

Park yourself on one of our couches and we’ll give you all of the free coffee you can drink and you can use our wi-fi if you want to do some work or just spend time surfing.

We’re also hosting some pretty cool events on nine evenings. You can check out the calendar and RSVP here.

By the way, if you open a PerkStreet online checking account at the Lounge, we’ll give you a $75 bonus after your account has been active for three months. If you can’t make it, sign up at 303grand.perkstreet.com and you’ll still get $50 to spend. Either way, you’ll get the checking account that gives you 1% cash back, free music or coffee (you choose) plus you’ll get to avoid those nasty ATM fees. With PerkStreet, you get access to the largest surcharge-free ATM network in the country.

We hope to see you there!
