Loyalty card enables participation in all future promotional campaigns

Manama - Bahrain Financing Company (BFC), the Kingdom's oldest and most reputed money transfer and foreign exchange group, recently launched the BFC Bonus Card as part of ongoing efforts to boost services and facilitate simple and efficient money transfers via BFC's global network.  The card will also act as a key for all future loyalty schemes and promotions, automatically entering customers into the promotion when used at any one of BFC's multiple branches.

All BFC customers are eligible for a free Bonus Card and need only register once at any BFC branch when they make their next transaction.  The registration process is simple and customer details are linked to each individual card, in an effort to further simplify all future transactions and remove the need to fill out forms or keep old receipts.

Commenting on the BFC Bonus Card, Mr. Errol Fonseca, Deputy General Manager-of BFC  said, "The introduction of the BFC Bonus Card is a great step for BFC and its customers. With the best foreign exchange rates and lowest transfer charges, we at the BFC are striving to make the customer experience even more rewarding through the use of the Bonus Cards. The Bonus Card will continue to evolve over time, incorporating more services, features and benefits for our customers."

The BFC Bonus Card will be required for customers to enter into all future BFC campaigns and promotions. As an added incentive, the BFC Bonus Card will also allow existing card holders to make use of a special referral scheme, whereby for every two new customers (or customers with no transactions for the past 6 months) referred by an existing Bonus Card holder, the existing card holder will get one free transaction.

As the first foreign exchange company established in Bahrain in 1917, BFC specialises in moving money smartly and efficiently with the best rates in the market. With an extensive global reach covering over 100 countries, BFC offers customers unparalleled service, a vast array of innovative retail products and unbeatable exchange rates
