As reported in the bank, now a client can get a Gold card in the bank’s outlet in a few minutes - the time needed to issue a card significantly reduced by non-printing photo and name of a cardholder. In this case, the instant card is equipped with a chip to secure settlements and provide cardholders with all the privileges of a Gold card and the benefits of service in Ukraine and abroad.

“In any country of the world there is a system of discounts and bonuses for Gold card holders when paying for purchases and bills in the brand shops, restaurants and hotels”,- says Oleg Klyapko, the head of PrivatBank Gold Club. “In addition, these cards can be issued in foreign currency, so - being abroad, client does not have to incur losses from currency exchange.”
