BOV credit card holders who pay with their card between the 15th March and 6th April stand a chance of winning a BOV MasterCard Prepaid Card of €50.
"Participation in our BOV Credit Cards Easter Promotion is automatic and cardholderswill earn one stake for each purchase of a minimum of €25 effected with their credit card," said Michael Galea, Chief Electronic Banking Officer at Bank of Valletta.
Mr Galea explained that, following the success of other similar promotions organized for the Christmas period and Valentine's Day, the Bank was once again seeking to offer an added incentive, making it even more attractive for its customers to use their credit cards to effect payments.
"We are seeing card usage increase year after year. Cards, being a straightforward, efficient and secure means of payment, are truly moving up the customer preference ladder, fast becoming the payment method of choice for more and more customers," added Mr Galea who highlighted that overall cards business turnover transacted by the Bank over a period of twelve months had exceeded the €1 billion mark for the first time in 2014.
Cards offer important benefits including protection for the cardholderand versatility when effecting purchases, both from retail outlets and online. Bank of Valletta today also offers a 3D Secure service which adds an additional layer of security when customers use their BOV Visa and BOV MasterCards for online purchases at participating merchants. This added protection is provided by means of a one-time pass code delivered to the customer's mobile phone that is used to authorize the transaction, thus safe guarding against unauthorized use of the card.
The lottery draw will be held on the 20th April. Ten randomly drawn cardholders will be contacted by the bank and asked a skill-based question to win the prize.
