The National Board of Radio and Television conducted on its own initiative checks regarding television advertisements for banking products, that were broadcasted in February 2008.
For most advertisements, it was found that the additional charges on the advertised banking products (which altered the final price of the initial offer) were presented separately from the main message, in a rolling tape at the lower part of the screen.
The size and the speed of the characters of these tapes made it almost impossible for the viewers to read the information. At the same time, the message misleadingly created the impression of an extremely profitable offer.
