W hat you need to know

Your PIN 

You keep the same PIN you had for your old Mastercard.
 

The annual fee 

Your new Visa card has the same annual fee as your old Mastercard and the same terms. If the old Mastercard had no annual fee, neither does the new Visa.
 

The card features 

Your new card offers the same options as your old one. 
 

Your Bonus loyalty programme

Your new card will continue to be part of the Bonus loyalty programme. Any remaining Bonus points you had collected with your old Alpha Bank Enter Bonus Mastercard debit card are available in your My Bonus account, once you activate your new card.

Your old card

Destroy your old Mastercard once you activate your new card.
