Vietinbank issues two new int’l credit cards

The Vietnam Bank for Industry and Trade (Vietinbank) announced that it officially issued two new international credit cards on October 15, including Cremium Visa and Cremium MasterCard.

Accordingly, Cremium card holders can withdraw cash and pay for goods and services at tens of millions of point-of-sale (POS) and ATM systems worldwide bearing the Visa and MasterCard logos.

With a flexible card line, customers can use the post-payment services without fees or interest payments if they pay within 45 days.

In addition, Cremium card holders will also receive global health insurance worth 5,000 USD and can benefit from an intelligent reward scheme when paying for goods and services.

The Cremium credit cards are suitable for all customers who have a monthly salary of 2.5 million VND or more and receive their salaries via Vietinbank’s ATM E-partner card without any secured assets.

Between November 1, 2008 and January 25, 2009, Vietinbank will run a promotion entitled “One week being a king in America ” for Cremium card-holders in particular and Vietinbank’s customers in general. Card-holders will receive special tickets, with the chance of winning a one-week tour to America worth 130 million VND.-Enditem
