BBAC and Visa awarded Ms. Chloé Kattar 5,000 USD for using her BBAC Visa card in a small reception at the bank’s branch in Mar Nicolas-Achrafieh. Ms. Kattar was one of last summer’s lucky winners of Visa’s summer ‘Travel Happy’ campaign, offering VISA cardholders a chance to win back money spent on their VISA card while on holiday during the month of August.

Ramzi Saboury, Visa Country Manager for Lebanon, said: “On behalf of Visa, I would like to congratulate the lucky winners of our Travel Happy campaign, which reflects the significant role that electronic payments play in enabling people to travel happy by providing simple ways to pay and easy access to funds while travelling. Moreover, Visa’s Global Travel Intentions Study 2013 revealed that the average spend per trip is expected to jump to almost 30 percent for future trips. Therefore, Visa works closely with clients in the banking, financial, and retail industry to deliver convenient, secure, and reliable electronic payment services to their customers and launch competitions that encourage them to use their electronic payment cards for value as well as for added features and benefits.”  

On this occasion, Ms. Nahed Zeid, Head of Cards and E-Banking Department at BBAC, commented: “Visa has stayed true to its campaign and made their cardholders truly happy last summer. We are so delighted that one of our cardholders has won. BBAC will be collaborating with Visa on more successful campaigns and, with the BBAC rewards card program coming to an end, will continue to provide new seasonal offers with valuable prizes.”
