Debit, credit, prepaid cards
The simplest function of cards is that of debit cards, with which we can carry out transactions using money we already have.
Credit cards, on the other hand, can cover our needs with money that we borrow temporarily from the Bank, when we estimate that we’ll soon be able to repay it.
There's also the solution of prepaid cards, which can be an ideal tool for anyone who carries out transactions online and needs a specific amount, or is at a younger age and needs parental control on their consumer habits.
Advantages
Cards undoubtedly make everyday life easier. However, it’s good to know the available options in order to use the card that best matches your needs and habits.
Consumers should use credit, debit or prepaid cards depending on the particular purchase in question. In fact, NBG recently launched the first Dual card that’s "two-in-one", providing the option to choose each time whether to use its debit or its credit functionality (provided the second of these two functions has also been activated). The process of applying for the card has also been simplified, as it can be completed entirely online by following a few simple instructions, or by visiting an NBG Branch.
With NBG cards you can also collect Go For More points through various banking transactions and save by redeeming them at partner businesses throughout Greece. With the Go For More app you can stay updated on your points and their value in Euro, and find out about current offers and the partner businesses that are near you.
Make right choices
You can use a card in many ways, and card transactions are easy and instant. Cards make your everyday life easier, and it's important to choose the ones that best suit your needs and habits, and to use them in the best way for your circumstances.
