Using a credit card is easy!

Using a credit card is easy! When effecting a purchase from a retail outlet, the cashier at the outlet will insert the value of the transaction at the point of sale terminal, and this is displayed on the terminal display. Once you have confirmed that the value of the transaction is correct, you may insert your PIN (Personal Identification Number) to authorise the transaction. Contactless transactions under the value of €50 will be authorised by simply tapping your card on the machine, however if the value of the transaction exceeds the amount mentioned above, or after a certain number of transactions, you will be asked to insert your PIN to authorise the transaction. That’s all there is to it!

Credit Limit

Every cardholder is given a minimum credit limit of €700. However a larger limit may be applied for at any time by the cardholder, furthermore, arrangements can also be made for a larger limit to be available for a short-term period. If a supplementary card is issued, the same limit applies to the combined spending on both cards. The supplementary card is issued for free.

Benefits

The BOV Visa Classic Card is accepted at retail outlets the world over. You can pay for the products and services in shops, restaurants, hotels, travel agents and airline offices, to mention a few, that display the credit card logos.
  • Instant Cash – You can use your BOV credit cards to withdraw cash at banks and cash machines (ATMs) all over the world. The amount you withdraw will appear in your monthly statement. There is a small charge for this and interest will be charged from the date of withdrawal. All you need is a Personal Identification Number (PIN), which is automatically supplied with the card.
  • Convenience – You do not need to write cheques or carry large amounts of cash. You can also use your card to pay for mail order shopping and for things you order through the phone or the Internet.
  • Flexibility and control – Using a credit card can help you control your finances and spread your spending over time. In this way you can pay for expensive items without disrupting your normal budget.
