Do you know that your Republic Bank Credit Card can provide you with superior benefits and rewards? To ensure that you are not missing out on some of the wonderful benefits that your Republic Bank Credit Card has to offer, we have developed a comprehensive list of useful tips which will help you manage your credit card and maximise the great rewards!

TIP #1 Use RepublicOnline
TIP #2 Manage your payments

Pay your credit card bill by the payment due date to avoid paying unnecessary late fees. You can use RepublicOnline or our Automated Payment Service to ensure you pay on time. These are services that are available to our Republic Bank accountholders. Please note payments made to your Credit Card after 8:00 p.m. will be processed the next Business day. Remember, with your Republic Bank Credit Card no interest will be payable on any amounts debited to the Credit Card Account if the outstanding balance is paid in full by the Payment Due date shown on the Principal Cardholder’s current Billing Statement.

TIP #3 Track your spending

Diligently monitoring your credit card transactions will make you less susceptible to fraud. Always ensure that all transactions noted on your statement are correct. Look at the new charges and match all transactions with your receipts. Make sure your last payment was recorded correctly. You can track your spending anywhere, anytime with RepublicOnline.

TIP #4 Treat your card as if it were cash

Your credit card should never be left out of your sight! Be sure to ask the waiters at your favourite restaurants if they have a wireless credit card terminal so that you can settle your bill right at the table with speed and ease, as well as eliminate possible fraudulent ‘skimming’ opportunities. If the restaurant does not have a wireless terminal, be sure to accompany the sales representative to the terminal area to complete the transaction.

TIP #5 Credit card limit increase

If you require an increase in your credit limit to cater for vacation, personal or even home expenses, simply go into any one of our 7 branches with your most recent pay slip and fill out the relevant form. Be sure to apply early to ensure that your limit increase can be processed in time for when it is needed.

TIP #6 Vacation/business travel
TIP #7 Phishing-Internet scams

Be suspicious of unsolicited emails that appear to have originated from your bank, asking you to verify personal or financial information. The email can also appear as an offer of rewards requesting that you provide your credit card account information in order for the rewards to be processed. Republic Bank will never send you an email or SMS requesting personal information, so kindly disregard these types of messages (emails & SMS).

TIP #8 Look out for Republic Bank promotions and exclusive offers

Republic Bank is always rewarding our customers through customized and exclusive credit card promotions, or value-added discounts at merchants. This gives you the opportunity to get extra value from your credit card as well as the chance to win great prizes! Be sure to visit our website at www.republicbarbados.com regularly to learn what’s new and exciting in the realm of credit cards and read your credit card statement inserts so that you can benefit from these offers.

TIP #9 Never leave home without your Republic Bank Credit Card

Using your Republic Bank Credit Card for all your purchases can actually make you save time and money through the rewards you earn. It provides a reliable and safe payment instrument for your purchases both locally and abroad whilst providing superior fraud monitoring systems and security features such as our Chip and PIN technology, free insurance coverage and value- added benefits. Remember your Republic Bank Credit Card, if used wisely, can be your tool to effectively manage your finances and reap great savings everyday!
