Unibank to increase number of plastic cards threefold in 2010

As Unibank's press-service reports, the bank issued about 37,000
cards by early February, 2010, 73% of which are international VISA
cards. The number of the Unibank's POS-terminals, installed in the
trade-service enterprises, makes up 674 pieces, and ATM - 65 pieces.

Meanwhile, Unibank issued a new credit card ArCa U-Buy with a credit
limit to 1 mln drams. The maximum credit term makes up 24 months, the
interest rate - 22% per annum, which are calculated just for a
negative account balance. "U-Buy card may be drawn by all the
individual persons, having a confirmed monthly income and having no
negative credit history. For the clients' comfort, the list of the
documents, required for card receipt, has been reduced to the
minimum: passport, social card, employers' statement about the
salary and position held", Hakobyan said.
