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.
