Foreign Exchange Rate Advantages
Credit cards are the ideal means of payment all over the world. This is because, when abroad, you always pay in the local currency with your Bonviva credit card – without having to pay the local exchange rate. The local exchange rate is usually higher than that offered by Bonviva credit cards.
Security and Cost Control
With the Bonviva credit card, you do not have to carry cash and thus do not have to convert money. Don't forget to apply for a higher credit limit before your departure – just to be on the safe side.
You are also protected in the event that you lose your credit card abroad. If you lose your card, we make sure you receive emergency cash and a replacement card.

Transport accident insurance: With the Silver, Gold, and Platinum banking packages, you are insured against accident with the respective means of transportation. Simply buy your airplane and public transport tickets with your Bonviva credit card.

It will assist you in medical, legal, and personal emergencies around the clock.
