OREANDA-NEWS. December 25, 2008. From the start of the next year Ukio bankas upgrades insurance terms and conditions for credit cardholders. Family members of MasterCard Standard, MasterCard Gold and MasterCard Business cardholders, travelling abroad together, will receive insurance coverage of the same amount as the card owners, reported the press-centre of Ukio bankas.

MasterCard payment cardholders covered my medical cost and accident insurance and two their family members travelling together with the insured will also be insured while skiing or diving, i. e. while engaged in the activities of increased risk, which, as a rule, are not insured by banks. The holders of Ukio bankas credit cards will be insured by the insurance company PZU Lietuva.

“We try to improve our services seeking the best quality. As we treasure our clients we take care of the safety of both our clients and their family members. Restricted insurance services not covering increased risk activities are often applied to credit cardholders. Our aim is to offer a wide choice of services to the holders of a single card and thus help clients save both time and money,” Jurate Kajackiene, director of Ukio bankas Payment Cards Department, said.

MasterCard cardholders can also take advantage of Ukio bankas special discount program. It allows clients saving up to 20 percent when buying tickets to events, clothing, accessories and other items.
