I am very proud that we are enhancing our VISA card offering so that our customers can now receive their VISA cards within minutes at all UMB branches,” Mr Awuah said.
He assured that all customers and other stakeholders of UMB that the Bank was committed to investing in the necessary infrastructure and technology that would ultimately benefit the customer.
“Let me state in no uncertain terms that our utmost priority is to exceed the expectations of our customers and to enhance their experiences at every UMB touch point,” Mr Awuah said.
“The introduction of instant VISA cards is just one of several initiatives that we will implement in 2017 to enhance the speed with which we deliver our services,” he added.
The Head of Card Operations of UMB, Mrs Irene Adjei-Bisa said that the UMB VISA cards come with the most advanced chip and pin technology with enhanced security cardholders.
