The Bank of Valletta has announced that it is extending its Summer Offers throughout the month of September.

"The good response witnessed throughout this summer period shows how much customers can distinguish between the different financial solutions available on the market, also acknowledging that BOV can offer the best value for their money and investments", said Mario Gouder, Executive Head Personal Finance at Bank of Valletta. "It is for these reasons that we have decided to extend the promotion period up to the end of September 2008," added Mr. Gouder.

The BOV Summer Offers 2008 offer customers a variety of benefits ranging from discounted rates of interest on products such as Credit Cards, Home Loans, and Personal Loans and discounts on Stockbroking Services.

Customers who take a personal loan in excess of €10,000 are entitled to apply for a free classic credit card besides enjoying the discounted rate of interest on the loan.

During the offer period, credit cards will be free of charge as card fees will be waived for the first year. Moreover, customers can use their own personal credit card daily with no interest on any purchases made during the first 6 months. BOV is also offering a 15% reduction on local Stockbroking commissions during this period.
