Maldives Islamic Bank (MIB) has introduced an instant VISA card service to its customers.
The instant VISA card service is a first in the Maldives. Customers can obtain this card from any MIB branch and the only difference between an instant VISA card and a normal card is that it does not have the cardholder’s name engraved on it.
An official from MIB said that some customers believe that it is much more secure if the cardholder’s name is not present on the card. Moreover, the general feedback from customers was mainly positive for the instant card service introduced by the bank.
The instant VISA card can be used for all domestic transactions and customers will be eligible for any promotions organized by the bank.
New customers will receive the card instantly once they open an account at MIB. The bank aims to make banking more convenient for its customers with the introduction of this service.
Customers can obtain a VISA card from any branch and activate it instantly. MIB currently has a branch in every city in the Maldives.
