Kina Bank will be phasing out its Local Cards by October 31, 2024. After this date, the Kina Visa Debit Cards will replace the Local Cards.
Greg Pawson, Kina Bank’s CEO and Managing Director, stated, “We are making this change to safeguard our customers from the increasing threat of card fraud.”
“The Kina Visa Debit Card includes advanced security features such as 3-D secure service, real-time transaction alerts, and micro-chip protection against card skimming and cloning.”
The Kina Visa Debit Card offers customers control over their purchases and access to the global Visa network. Benefits include:
- Shopping anytime, anywhere
- Tap to pay on EPTPOS machines in PNG and overseas
- Making online purchases with Visa fraud protection
- Withdrawing money from any ATM that accepts Visa Cards
Mr. Pawson added, “Aligned with our vision of being the most dynamic, progressive, and accessible financial services company in the country, we are committed to enhancing services for our customers.”
“We encourage our customers to visit any Kina Bank branch or digital hub to exchange their Local Card for a Kina Visa Debit Card as soon as possible at no cost. Customers who walk into any of our branches and digital hubs will be issued cards instantly with no setup fee, no monthly fees or EFTPOS fees, and no monthly account fees,” Mr Pawson said.
Kina Bank customers who reside in provinces without a branch can contact the Kina Bank Contact Centre at the Toll-Free Number 180 1525 or +675 308 3800, or email kina@kinabank.com.pg for assistance.
