BOC Multi-Currency Travel Card upgraded with benefits, security and convenience

BOC Multi-Currency Travel Card (MCTC) is now upgraded with benefits that add more security and convenience with Near Field Communication (NFC) and 3-D secure authentication service for e-commerce transactions. Convenient and secured, the new BOC MCTC upgraded feature will secure travelers from possible threats that could occur and use the card confidently.

The Bank is offering BOC MCTC under a special approval obtained through Central Bank of Sri Lanka. With the trust and stability built over the years, the BOC MCTC that is produced jointly with MasterCard International is accepted around the world to assist travelers to conduct their transactions seamlessly. Being a globally acclaimed technology company, MasterCard International is in the global payments industry and operate payments processing network, connecting consumers, financial institutions, merchants and businesses in more than 210 countries and territories.

This Card can be used on ATMs, POS and for online transactions where MasterCard acceptance mark is present and card holder can enjoy dining, shopping and travelling whilst abroad or can use at Duty-free shopping outlets in Sri Lanka.

This Card also replaces currency notes which may be exchanged at a loss when travelling across different countries. Carrying physical currency notes also leads to practical issues such as portability. BOC MCTC provides the user an ideal solution to manage exchange rate fluctuation and keep the traveler informed about transactions via SMS or email. Provided with a secured EMV complaint chip that keeps the card information safe whilst using it in places where there could be a possible identification theft. On completion of each transaction SMS updates and notification alerts will be forwarded to the given telephone number of the user.

“Being a Bank which is focused on enriching its customer’s lives through adding value, Bank of Ceylon introduced the BOC Multi-Currency Travel Card that offers the convenience and safety of carrying multiple currencies in one digital card, allowing the customer to travel overseas freely and transact with confidence without being exposed to exchange loss” said Deputy General Manager International, Treasury and Investment R M N Jeewantha.
