Union Bank, one of Sri Lanka’s top five private commercial banks in market capitalisation and one of the fastest growing banks in Sri Lanka, added yet another pragmatic feature to its fast growing retail portfolio, with the launch of the Union Bank VISA International Debit Card.
Introduced in both Platinum and Classic, the Union Bank VISA Debit card incorporates an extensive range of features, enabling cardholders to access not only unique and attractive offers and discounts, but also makes online shopping and bill payments absolutely convenient. Applying for a Union Bank VISA International debit card is simple and requires a Union Bank current or savings account. The card offers a host of value additions including free SMS on transactions.
Union Bank CEO Indrajit Wickramasinghe stated that Union Bank’s partnership with a global brand such as VISA is of immense value and enables the bank to offer customers greater banking convenience with accessibility to over one million VISA ATMs and 29 million VISA merchants globally.
The launch of the Union Bank VISA debit card is yet another key highlight in the bank’s ongoing development initiatives to further strengthen the retail product portfolio and enhance customer convenience. The Union Bank VISA international debit card is more than just an ATM card and offers great deals and discounts throughout the year in addition to a host of value added benefits.
