OREANDA-NEWS. December 06, 2010. During the Christmas trading period Ukio bankas invites clients to pay for purchases by bank payment cards, reported the press-centre of Ukio Bankas.

Ukio bankas private clients, holding MasterCard and Maestro cards and having paid for goods or services LTL 1,000 or a larger amount until January 30, participate in a Christmas lottery and can win a weekend trip for two to the ICEHOTEL in Sweden.

“We invite the clients to pay by card more frequently instead of paying in cash due to several important reasons. In the Christmas period we purchase in greater amounts and more frequently and therefore paying by card is safer than carrying large sums of money on one’s person. Furthermore, those who pay by Ukio bankas cards which participate in discount programmes can save quite a lot. The credit card holders are offered to take advantage of the card credit under favourable terms, which is in particular relevant before the Christmas holiday when expenditure increases,” Jurate Kajackiene, director of Ukio bankas Payment Cards Department, said.

The holders of Ukio bankas Maestro Olialia cards enjoy discounts at more than 450 points of sale. Those who pay by Maestro Zalgiris card are offered special discounts for basketball fans.
