Frequently asked questions
What does the Bank of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines International Visa Debit Card cost to hold?+
The account that issues it carries a XCD 0 monthly fee, so there is no recurring charge for keeping the card. Spend is drawn straight from your balance, which means no interest is charged on the card itself. The debit design keeps the cost of the account simple.
Which network does the card run on?+
It runs on visa, so it is accepted wherever Visa debit cards are accepted, at home and abroad. That includes cash machines, shops and online checkout. The card is listed as a debit card rather than a prepaid or virtual card.
Is the money in the account protected?+
The issuer is supervised under the banking act that governs banks in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, which is the regulatory framework for banks in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Your balance sits with a deposit taker rather than an e money provider. Check the bank's own terms for what applies to your account.
Who can open this card?+
It is issued by Bank of Saint Vincent & the Grenadines Ltd., which has operated since 1977 from VC. In practice that means existing customers of the bank. Eligibility outside the bank's own market is not covered by the published information.
Is the card aimed at travel use?+
The card is marketed with travel in mind, so it is positioned for spending outside the home market. Being on visa helps, since Visa is widely accepted abroad. Currency conversion costs on international spend are not published in the available information.
How do I get help with the card?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so you can reach the bank by email, by phone or through its help centre. There is no live chat listed among the support channels. Card problems, so a blocked card or a disputed payment, go through the same channels.
