Rietumu: London is getting closer

25 April 2012, 12:00


The cards in British pounds will broaden the spectrum of Rietumu Bank card currencies, among which are the U.S. dollar, euro and Latvian lats, and will make it possible for the clients of the Bank to avoid conversion costs while travelling and staying in Great Britain.

“Today, Great Britain is one of the most popular lines both for business, receiving education and recreation. People go there on business, send their children to get education and spend their weekends or holidays in the British Isles. The approaching Summer Olympic Games in London will make this megalopolis the ‘hottest’ European capital in the coming months.

For many of our customers, especially those from Russia, Rietumu cards in British pounds are an excellent alternative to the similar offer from English banks, where the procedure of opening of an account is much more complicated and takes a longer time,” says Mark Andreyev, the Head of the Payment Cards Department of Rietumu.

Rietumu offers Gold and Platinum class VISA and MasterCard cards in British pounds, as well as the elite credit card World Signia, which combines the classical functions of a payment card with individual concierge service. The clients of the Bank may obtain such cards for themselves, their immediate family and other authorised persons.

The cards in British pounds, just as all credit cards offered by Rietumu, may be ordered both directly at the Bank’s office in Riga and remotely, and receive them via express mail in any part of the world.
