Issue of payment cards of Conversbank 25% up
The issue of payment cards of CONVERSBANK grew by 25%, and as of August 1, 2012 came to 20,000 cards. A resident of Odesa, Vlad Antonov, was issued with the 20,000th payment card of CONVERSBANK. On behalf of the bank's leadership, a EUR 2,000 certificate to go to Yurmala (Latvia) was presented to him. "I even didn't expect that on obtaining a VISA Classic card, I'll get such a prize. Taking into account that this year I was expecting to go on holidays, the trip to Yurmala from CONVERSBANK is perfect," Antonov said. He said that he has been a client of CONVERSBANK for one-and-a-half years, and he always pays for utility services in the Odesa department of the bank, and places money on a deposit. "We've managed to achieve the target for the issue of payment cards planned for the end of this year earlier thanks to the considerable expansion of the client portfolio. I think that by the end of the year we'll manage to bring the number of cards issued to 25,000," said the chairman of CONVERSBANK's supervisory board, Pavlo Paschenko.
