WELCOME IN BONUS CARD WORLD.
A WORLD OF PLUS.

In the plus world, you will benefit from the largest partners network in Romania. We have over 6000 partners with hundreds of online and offline stores. You will definitely find the plus one you need in no time. Bonus Card is Romania's first chip based multi-branded credit card. You can use it to purchase whatever you may need at any merchant in Romania or abroad that has MasterCard’s seal of approval.

With 3D Secure, you can enjoy extra-secure transactions

Bonus Card offers you extra-secure online shopping, by providing you with an extra-security filter: 3D Secure. This allows you to confirm all online payments, by using a security code which you will receive on your smartphone.

How does it work? In a nutshell, each time you or the user of the secondary card will shop online on a website enrolled in 3D Secure, when confirming the payment, a new web page will be displayed, in which:

  • The details of the payment will be mentioned (the seller, the total price and the date of the transaction, the last 4 digits of the card).
  • You will be able to choose the phone number at which to receive the password for the transaction, from a predefined list of phone numbers you have communicated to Garanti BBVA. Both your phone number and that of the secondary user have to be up-to-date. Afterwards, you will receive the confirmation code for the transaction on your smartphone.
  • In the new page displayed, you will have to type the confirmation code you received and the CVC2 code, according to the instructions.

That’s it! Now you can relax, knowing that you placed a secure transaction.

Pay quickly by simply approaching the card to a POS/ terminal with Contactless functionality without entering the PIN code for transactions up to 100 RON.

To obtain a Contactless Bonus Card, please contact your Garanti BBVA consultant, go to one of the Garanti BBVA agencies or call the Communication Center service 0800 80 1234 toll-free number, callable only from fixed networks or + 40 21 200 94 94, telephone number with normal tariff.

The intensive use of the Internet and smart devices can easily target you and make you a phishing attacks victim. These attacks are illegal attempts of stealing and using your sensitive personal data. Therefore, we kindly ask you not to use unknown source links or take part in online competitions that promise substantial gains.

To keep yourself safe from data theft, we kindly ask you to mind the following tips:

  • Do not confirm any sensitive personal data via SMS or e-mail.
  • Do not share your credit card number, expiry date, authentication code, PIN, password, telephone number etc with anybody.
  • Do not ever note down your PIN code (for credit/debit credit cards) or the passwords you use.
  • Garanti BBVA will never ask for such information via SMS, e-mail, or the accessing of a link.

Protect your computer with an official and updated antivirus software and don’t access Garanti BBVA applications lest they are from trusted sources.

  • We are continuously monitoring and are ready to prevent such phishing attacks. Protect your PC, laptop, tablet, and smartphone by using a strong password and antivirus and anti-spyware softwares.

Handle your credit/debit card sensitive data with great care.

  • Buy products and services from trusted sources. For online purchases, make sure the 3DSecure protocol is used.
  • Check your credit card statement at least monthly to see all the transactions made with your credit card.
  • Protect your credit card data (number, expiry date, CVV code) and don’t post them on social media.
  • Ask for a receipt every time you make a transaction with your credit/debit card, regardless it is approved or denied.
  • Whenever you pay with your credit card, make sure you always have it in your visual field and, where needed, ask for a mobile POS or go to fixed one yourself.

What is a grace period?

The grace period is the period in which the Bank does not charge interest for the overall value of the transactions made to merchants and/or shopping using instalment payment, highlighted in credit card statement, provided that the current debt/the total of the current debts are payed in full by the due day.
This benefit doesn’t exist lest the (total of) current debts visible in the credit card statement are not paid in full by the due day.

The grace period can spread up to 50 calendar days, depending on the purchase date, the calendar day number in a month and the due day. To benefit from the maximum grace period of 50 calendar days, you must use your credit card starting the first day of the transaction cycle.

Transactions such as cash withdrawals do not benefit from the grace period.

To benefit from this facility, you have to start the transaction cycle without any debt to the Bank and reimburse the used amount of money in full by the end of the grace period.

For example, let’s consider a credit card with a limit of 3.000 RON and a grace period of 50 calendar days. In September, the transaction cycle starts on the 1st of September and ends on the 30th of September, while the grace period expires on the 20th of October.

On the 5th of September, there is a purchase made in stores of 500 RON, while on the 20th of September there is another one of 500 RON. Hence, at the end of the month, when the credit card statement is drawn up, the client appears with a balance of 1.000 RON.

Given that at the beginning of the month the client did not have any amount of charges owed to the Bank, they can benefit from the grace period. Therefore, should they reimburse the amount of money in full by the 20th of October, they won’t be charged any interest.

However, should they reimburse only 500 RON, the Bank will charge interest for the entire period.

The credit card allows the owner to access a limited amount of money provided by the Bank and have a grace period in which the client is not charged any interest for their purchases. The interest is charged only when the amount of money owed to the Bank is not paid in full until the monthly due day, as well as for the cash withdrawals.

For cash withdrawals, the Bank will charge interest starting from the cash withdrawal date up to when the client reimburses the withdrawed cash, inclusively.

The purchase interest applies to the owed amount of money, excluding the total sum of money coming from cash withdrawals, starting from the day of the last credit card statement up to the day of the first purchase, should the card owner issue by the due day at least the minimum payment, if not the whole debt (the total of the current debts) highlighted in the credit card statement.

For the rest of the calculated period until the next credit card statement, the interest will be applied starting with the unpaid amount of money owed to the Bank.

When the card owner pays for the entire debt visible in the credit card statement, the Bank does not charge interest for the purchase value made to stores or by using instalment payment.

In case the card owner does not issue at least the minimum payment, the Bank will charge the penalizing interest.

For example, let’s assume we have a credit card with a limit of 3.000 RON and a grace period of up to 50 calendar days. In September, the transaction cycle starts on the 1st of September and ends on the 30th of September, while the grace period expires on the 25th of October.

Case A: On the 5th of September, there is a purchase made in stores of 500 RON, while on the 20th of September there is another one of 500 RON. Hence, at the end of the month, when the credit card statement is drawn up, the client appears with a balance of 1.000 RON.

  • If the client reimburses only 500 RON till the 20th of October, the Bank will charge interest for the entire period, meaning from September 5th to October 20th, for the 500 RON and from September 20th to October 20th for the other 500 RON.
  • If the client reimburses 1.000 RON until the 20th of October, the Bank will not charge interest.

Case B: On the 5th of September, there is a cash withdrawal of 500 RON from an ATM. Therefore, at the end of the month when the credit card statement is released, the client appears with a balance of 500 RON + the interest resulted from the cash withdrawal, calculated from September 5th up to the credit card statement release day.

How is the interest applied?

For instance, the current interest plan for the Bonus Card is of 27.6%, this being an annual interest.

If we take case B, from the previously provided example, “On the 5th of September, there is a cash withdrawal of 500 RON from an ATM. Therefore, at the end of the month when the credit card statement is released, the client appears with a balance of 500 RON + the interest resulted from the cash withdrawal, calculated from September 5th up to the credit card statement release day”, the interest is applied as it follows:

The cash withdrawal of 500 RON * number of days (September 5th - October 1st, the period in which the client benefits from that amount of money) = 25 days * daily interest (27.6% / 360 days) = 0.077%. The interest the client will have to pay at the end of the month, according to the credit card statement, is 9.6 RON.

How can I automatically issue the minimum payment for Bonus Card?

If you wish to have your minimum payment automatically withdrawn from your bank account at the due day, please go to any Garanti BBVA agency to check this option from inside Garanti BBVA Online, our Internet Banking service, or call Customer Communication Center toll-free telephone number 0800 80 1234 anytime between 09:00-22:00, reachable to all fixed-lines, or call + 40 21 200 94 94, a normal rate telephone number. Please mind that your bank account has the necessary amount of money when the due day comes.

Can I automatically issue the minimum payment for Bonus Card from the confirmed credit card limit?

It is not possible to issue the minimum payment from the confirmed credit card limit. The minimum payment can be automatically retained from your current bank account only, when the due day comes, following the debiting option set up.

What happens if I issue the minimum payment only?

The minimum payment represents the amount of money the client must pay when the due day comes, applied as 3% (1) of the used credit limit owed at the end of a transaction cycle (except future maturity rates) to which the Bank adds (2) 100% credit card costs, plus (3) 100% interests, plus (4) 100% sums resulted from exceeding the credit card limit, plus (5) 100% penalties, plus (6) 100% remaining debts, according to The List of Rates and Commissions for Credit Cards for Individuals displayed in any Garanti BBVA agency.

In case you pay the minimum payment only, the Bank will charge interest for the entire period, starting with the purchase day up to the debt payment day.

By issuing the minimum payment only, you cannot benefit from grace period.

In case you don’t issue at least the minimum payment, the Bank will apply the penalizing interest.

What are Bonus points and how can I use them?

1 point = 1 RON
Bonus points are money, actually. You win Bonus points for all the purchases you do with Bonus Card, in every store and to every merchant, either from Romania or from abroad (online or in-store), including instalment payments. There are no Bonus points when you withdraw money from the ATM.

For all your online or in-store purchases, from Romania or abroad, you will benefit from the following (depending on your previously agreed offer) :

  • 0.3% from the purchase value made from Garanti BBVA non-partnering traders
  • Up to 10% from the purchase value made from Garanti BBVA partnering traders

ATTENTION: When you go for checkout or pay for your purchase, ask to make the payments via a POS Garanti BBVA (the device that read your credit card). Only then you will benefit from the Bonus points.

The Bonus points you collect can be used in the Garanti BBVA partnering shops. The bonus can neither be withdrawn from an ATM, nor can it be used to pay for the used credit on your card; the bonus points value is made available in the monthly credit card statement. For instance, you can use the bonus points to buy a birthday present for your friend or child.

Before going for shopping, go to https://bonuscard.ro/parteneri/ and check what special campaigns Bonus Card provides you with and spot the trader you are interested in.The available bonus can be used in Bonus Card network of physical stores which can be found in Partners list.

  • Call Customer Communication Center toll-free telephone number 0800 80 1234 anytime between 09:00-22:00, reachable to all fixed-lines, or call + 40 21 200 94 94, a normal rate telephone number;
  • Use Internet Banking – Garanti BBVA Online;
  • Via the monthly credit card statement.

What should I do when I lose my credit card or it is stolen from me ?

In the event of losing and getting your credit card stolen, call Customer Communication Center toll-free telephone number 0800 80 1234 anytime between 09:00-22:00, reachable to all fixed-lines, or call + 40 21 200 94 94, a normal rate telephone number and immediately report your loss in order to block it and benefit from the necessary guidance.
