The card which was launched as one of the highlights of the bank’s 25th anniversary celebration delivers several benefits to users.
These include multiple use over a 36-month period and worldwide acceptance on all Visa-enabled platforms and Automated Teller Machines (ATMs).
A media release issued in Accra by the bank said the card also limited spending to only the funds available on it as it was a “stand-alone” and, therefore, not linked to customers’ accounts.
Other benefits include a dual currency feature which allows for loading in Ghana cedi and US dollars, in addition to the fact that it can be used by individuals, corporate entities and families to restrict spending on travels, projects or errands.
Benefits
Speaking about the benefits and features of the card, the Head, E-Business Solutions at the bank, Mr Alexander Markwei, said, “In our daily dealings with our customers and clients, we are able to pick out what they expect of us and what their needs are. These insights enable us to make available products which meet their expectations and make life less stressful for them.”
He said “the features of the FBNBank Ghana Visa Prepaid Card uniquely address the needs of a number of customer groups with the added benefit of overlapping into areas which though offer a benefit, completely come as a plus.
With features such as EMV Chip and PIN-enabled in addition to being a “stand-alone”, our customers can enjoy the use of a low-risk product on several platforms, including the internet, to make purchases.
The multiple use lends the card to a variety of needs from personal through family or group use to several corporate purposes.
For us at FBNBank, our commitment to our brand promise enjoins us to continue offering our customers and clients the ultimate gold standard of value and excellence. This is what drives us to remain focused on making life easier for our customers and clients”.
