He said the bank introduced the cards in response to customers’ demand saying “We basically have responded to the needs of our customers. This visa card is something they have yearned for over the years and we are happy that today it has arrived. It will bring security, convenience and access to millions of Visa outlets all over the world”.

“Considering the special needs of our customers, and the different places they will be taking the cards, especially the business community, we have rolled out three cards: the Gold Card for the high net worth customers, the Classic to take care of the middle market and the Visa Prepaid for those who want to spend a specific amount of money, for a trip or to purchase a specific item.
It for situations where money is to be spent in a controlled way, thus parents can get the prepaid for the wards, for buying school items or paying fees,” he said.
