Can you help me spot the spots?

Could you help me identify some commercials my girlfriend found to be adorable?

I was wondering if the hive mind could help me figure out what two advertisements from a couple years ago were and what they promoted. My girlfriend thought they were adorable and has been asking if I can find them on Youtube, but I haven't had much luck.

Both commercials, I believe, were for banks or some other kind of financial service. The first featured a group of windup birds marching in unison towards and into a hole while a background singer crooned "Follow the crowd, follow the crowd!" One of the birds breaks away and finds happiness and fulfillment with whatever the ad was selling.

The second was an ad featuring a "cutout" of a piggy bank (it lacked fine detail but was red or pink and had white outlines, slot, and eyes). The piggy bank rolled around past various numbers and percentages. It may or may not have gotten bigger. I have seen similar ads for HSBC, so I think it could be associated with that company.

Know that finding these ads will bring joy to a lovely young woman. I appreciate your effort in advance.

This one from HSBC is pretty cute, might be one of the ones she liked?

The first one, I can't help with, sorry!
