You can update your personal details online, from your computer or mobile phone.

At the same time, you collect Bonus loyalty programme points.

  2. Click on the 3 dots on the right of the card and choose “Send PIN”.

About your contactless transactions

Are contactless transactions safe?

Yes, they are absolutely safe, as they allow you to always hold the actual card in your hands. What is more, contactless transaction cards: 

  • Use Chip & PIN technology to secure your transactions. 
  • Meet the specifications set by Visa, Mastercard and Diners.  

However, you must never share your PIN with any other person. Find out more about the security of your transactions

Could I be charged twice during a contactless transaction?

No. For a transaction to go through, the merchant must type the amount into the POS terminal.  

Once the transaction is complete, the screen displays a message. Therefore, you will not be charged again, even if you touch your card on the terminal a second time.  

About card fees

I was charged €5 for administrative card fees. Why did that happen?

When your card is lost or damaged or it has expired, we have to issue a replacement, for which operating costs apply. Administrative fees cover this cost and are only charged on cards with no annual fee. 

Find out more about all card-related charges in Alpha Bank’s Transaction Terms.  

Is there an annual fee for cards?

Yes. Check the terms that apply for your card in Alpha Bank’s Transaction Terms

How is interest calculated on my credit card?

Interest = Amount due x Interest rate (purchase or cash withdrawal) x days / 365 

The days count from the transaction date to the end of each interest period (the date when interest is calculated by the bank). 

You pay interest only when you have not paid the amount due in full on the due date. 

Is there an annual fee on Bonus cards?

Yes. Check the terms that apply for your card in Alpha Bank’s Transaction Terms.

The Alpha Bank Enter Bonus annual fee is €12. What do I get?

Free benefits and services:

  • Participating in the Bonus loyalty programme to earn points every time you shop.
  • Receiving notifications for all card transactions, with Alpha alerts.
  • Enjoying insurance coverage when you shop, with the purchase protection and warranty doubling scheme.
