Baku, Finance Time. Kapital Bank has presented first Affinity credit cards in Azerbaijan. Bank issued Affinity cards as part of a charity campaign conducted together with VISA International and “Savab Dunyasi” charity fund.

The annual income from the sale of these cards will be spent on charity goals to help children with thalassemia. The presentation of these Affinity cards had taken place at Gabala Ballroom, Kempinski Hotel Badamdar, on October 17, 2012. In the ceremony have paticipated the representatives of local and foreign companies, journalists, art workers.

The ceremony featured an exhibition of drawings by children with thalassemia who participated in the event. The three winners received expensive gifts from the Kapital Bank – a notebook, a DVD player, and a photo camera. 

Affinity cards were available to order online during the ceremony. The campaign, held under the motto “Let`s be in everybody`s heart!”, will see Kapital Bank transfer 50% of the income from the annual service of Visa Classic, Visa Gold and Visa Platinum cards to the account of “Savab Dunyasi” charity fund. Everyone who buys a Kapital Bank Affinity card will make his contribution to saving the life of thalassemia-affected children.

Similar campaigns were held in several European countries, in particular Russia. Kapital Bank expresses its hope that the campaign, a first in Azerbaijan, will be widely supported by the public. Affinity cards can be obtained at Kapital Bank`s branches, or ordered online via the Bank`s website www.kapitalbank.az.
