Republic Bank International Visa Gold

Our International Visa Gold Credit Card is a premium facility that is ideal for professionals and other high net worth individuals.

Republic Bank has the latest in credit card technology. Our Chip and PIN credit cards are the first with this technology to be introduced in the English-speaking Caribbean.

Chip and PIN technology has many benefits:
  • It reduces fraud, making credit card transactions more secure and enhances the overall customer experience.
  • The embedded microchip on the card stores data more securely, preventing it from being easily copied or altered.
  • The unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) means that only you can use your card and do so securely.
  • These cards are also globally accepted, including in Europe and in the UK.
