OTP Bank Romania and MOL Romania Petroleum Products have launched the co-branded OTP-MOL credit card, issued under the MasterCard logo. This is the first “fuel card”-type co-branded credit card, issued by a Romanian bank in cooperation with one of the biggest fuel distributors in Romania – the MOL gas-stations network.
Anyone who shops in the MOL stations and pays with this card benefit of a double number of MultiBonus points, when using the “MOL MultiBonus” card (the “OTP-MOL” and “MultiBonus” cards can be issued simultaneously).
MultiBonus is a long term loyalty program meant to reward the clients for choosing to fuel from the MOL gas stations. Every time they buy products from MOL, they receive MultiBonus points that can be transformed into various products marketed by the MOL gas stations, or they can choose out of an entire series of presents from the MultiBonus catalogue.
Furthermore, the OTP-MOL credit card owners will also enjoy other special advantages, such as:
• Credit limit of up to 3 net monthly incomes (maximum RON 2.000)
• “Zero” interest for a maximum 55 days period, for the transactions performed at the acceptant merchants
• Free card issuance before March 31st, 2007
• Free administration for the first year
• The monthly minimum amount due of only 5% of the used credit
• Preferential interest rate for the used credit, collected after the grace period
“MOL Romania always brings new and new advantages for its clients. The launch of this card comes to complete the benefits offered in the gas stations, offering the clients more reasons to return to MOL”, said Zsolt Szalay, CEO, MOL Romania.
“The co-branded card launched in this partnership – OTP Bank Romania and MOL Romania – is a product under the MasterCard logo that offers multiple advantages for the clients”, says Denisa Mateescu, General Manager, Southeastern Countries, MasterCard Europe. “The card can be used just like any other common payment instrument in the MasterCard acceptance network, found in 210 countries and territories worldwide. At the same time, the card holds a series of built-in benefits offered by our partners, benefits that will surely be appreciated by the costumers, when using it at the MOL gas stations.”
“The completion with this OTP-MOL co-branded card of the products offer addressed to individuals is part of the bank’s business strategy and also represents a step forward in reaching our objective of a 4-5% market share of the Romanian banking sector”, declared Frigyes Hárshegyi, CEO, OTP Bank Romania.
