Speaking at the launch, the Head of Card and Payment Solution at Stanbic Bank, Nii Odartey Lamptey said that the card is to ensure that customers transact their businesses conveniently and efficiently.
He disclosed that the bank will embark on a campaign to sensitize people on the importance of credit cards and defuse the notion that it keeps people in debt.
Odartey Lamptey also assured that the bank will put measures in place to enable customers access the cards without hassle.
“What we will require to do is to make the card very simple, very easy and then we need to deliver on the timelines that we promise to deliver. The second bit is also to do education to cancel out the fear fact that people have. People thinks that when they have the credit card they will be in debt forever. The card has not gotten a tenure so once you pay your debt you can use it again”.
