CardAvantaj – The appropriate solution in a difficult context
Bucharest, 9th of March 2010
CardAvantaj, the credit cards leader in Romania, announces outstanding results. Despite an unfavourable economic climate during 2009, CardAvantaj has continued to register a highly positive evolution, from both the number of cards and the transactions value points of view.
The network of commercial partners currently counts over 9.500 locations, covering virtually all areas of interest of the cardholders. The CardAvantaj customers, who have made transactions worth over 168 million lei, have enjoyed all the advantages of shopping with payment in instalments.
Another important feature of the card is the bonus that the cardholders earn for each transaction with CardAvantaj. In this case we also could see positive trends, both an increase in the bonuses granted by the bank in 2009 (over 2.4 million lei) and the number of transactions made by customers from the bonuses account (over 1.3 million lei). The CardAvantaj owners currently have in their bonus accounts a value exceeding 4 million lei.
"CardAvantaj has become part of our clients' daily life, and this is evidenced by the frequent usage. We shall continue adding new benefits and advantages to the card during 2010, as the product evolves according to the clients' needs, in order to fulfil each of their expectations" declares Mr. Omer Tetik, Prime Vice President Credit Europe Bank.
Currently, Credit Europe Bank has a portfolio including over 330.000 CardAvantaj credit cards, 85 branches, agencies and working points, 164 ATMs and over 9.500 POS installed at the merchants' locations.
