4 April 2007 (13:48)

Bank 24.ru organized a free workshop on the potential of Visa + Internet on March 27, 2007. There were 30 participants altogether (mostly the bank’s guests and clients) who got acquainted with the benefits of using bank cards and grace periods as well as competitive advantages of different card types and learned how much money one could make using the card interest rates. The attendants were walked through presentations of cards for both private clients and businesses (this included the so-called salary schemes and corporate cards).

The workshop agenda included a quiz, with contestants having to name as many ways of using cards in everyday life as they could. Such answers as using a card to scrape the snow off one’s windscreen and as a ruler won the Audience Prize.

‘The idea behind the quiz was to bring it home to the audience that bank cards are very practical. Not only are they convenient to use, but they also give one quite a few perks that people just don’t know about,’ Sales Director Irina Postnikova said to UrBC.

The workshop was organized within the framework of Finance Management Technology Program aimed at improving people’s financial literacy. The next workshop, which will be free of charge as well, has been scheduled for April 24, 2007, says the bank’s press officer.
