UBS launches new Basic credit card
Starting today, UBS will be offering the new UBS Basic Credit Card. This new card is designed to complement UBS's current credit card offering and broaden its product range for private clients.
UBS is today launching the UBS Basic Credit Card. It complements the current offering of UBS MasterCard Platinum, Gold and Standard, and UBS VISA Gold and Classic. With this product launch, UBS is rounding out its current credit card offering and responding to the increased acceptance of credit cards by major retailers since this summer. The target groups of the new UBS Basic Credit Card are private clients who are looking for a simple and economical credit card solution, who use their card almost exclusively in Switzerland, and who do not require additional services, comfort and prestige from their credit card.
The UBS Basic Credit Card is being issued as UBS VISA Card Basic and UBS MasterCard Basic and costs CHF 40 per year (offered free of charge in the first year); with 24 or more transactions per year the card is also free of charge the following year. The card's additional services include: 24h customer service, discounts on car hire and access to credit card data through UBS Cards Online. There is also the option of ordering the card with a photo. Membership in UBS KeyClub is not possible with the Basic card. A 2% processing fee is charged for foreign transactions.
