Save a la card

Reward Scheme Fantasia

Now you make savings every time your card is used

Save a la card is an innovative new plan through which holders of Bank of Cyprus
credit cards can save money every time they use their cards in their daily
transactions.

Now you save daily without realizing it!

Participation in the plan is free

Simply visit any of the Bank of Cyprus branches and with a single signature acquire the savings account Save a la card. This way, for every transaction undertaken with your card, the amount will be rounded off to the nearest 1 or 5 or 10 euro, according to your choice. The difference will be automatically deposited in your new Save a la card account, where it will gain interest.

For instance
You put petrol in the car worth €33.20. According to your selection the amount will be rounded off as follows:

  • 1 euro, you save €0,80 (rounded to €34)
  • 5 euro, you save €1,80 ( rounded to €35)
  • 10 euro, you save €6,80 ( rounded to €40)

Account monitoring

In the monthly account statement for your card you will continue to see the true value of the transactions you have conducted, and in addition the total amount you have saved.

For further information call 800 00 800 or drop in at any of the Bank of Cyprus branches.

NOTE: The amount of the monthly installment for the card will also include the amount saved. If payments to the credit card account are delayed the process of transferring sums to the deposit account will be suspended. The transfer of sums will be reactivated once delayed payments have been made.
