Credins bank & Mastercard launch the newest campaign with a focus on increasing digital payments in Albania.
Credins bank, in collaboration with Mastercard, launched the newest "POSI" campaign based on the exclusive "Acceptance Acceleration" program, which aims to accelerate the digitalization of payments in Albania.
In step with global trends where cash reduction is now an important strategy for Albania's economic policies, this program was initiated by Mastercard and supported by state and financial institutions, second-tier banks, etc.
As part of this program, Credins launched the campaign with the commercial name "POSI", which was selected by Mastercard as a linguistic trick in the form of popular slang and aims to promote the use of POS terminals in small and medium-sized businesses and individuals operating in the following sectors: hospitality-tourism, bar-restaurants, taxi services, markets, businesses with physical stores, as well as those businesses that have not had this service.
Businesses that apply for this service will benefit from a free POS terminal for a period of 12 months.
0% commission on all card transactions up to the annual limit determined according to the bank's terms. On the other hand, Credins bank staff offers personalized service for POS installation, helping businesses at any time.
This special program will be valid during the period May 1, '25 – April 30, '26. This collaboration between Mastercard and Credins bank once again demonstrates the commitment between the parties to always place customers at the center of every initiative.
From the digitalization of products and services to the creation of long-term relationships with customers, aiming to offer them modern and innovative solutions that meet their needs at all times.
Mastercard and Credins bank have had an excellent partnership for years, bringing about fruitful collaborations from time to time through effective campaigns and modern activities, not only at the business level but also by influencing the growth of the well-being of the local community.
Over the past few years, Albania has been experiencing a significant growth in the tourism industry, which has also contributed to the increased demand for banking services.
In this regard, Credins Bank has shown maximum importance by offering more digital services in tourist areas, maximally supporting various businesses.
On the other hand, customers are now becoming increasingly aware of the various benefits they receive from using POS or even ATMs.
The increasing demand for these services already shows a clear trend for the use of modern technology in financial management.
Credins bank services are organized to ensure maximum flexibility and to meet the diverse requirements of customers. Thus, the increase in business performance has led Credins to maximally engage in providing the most competitive services, including digital services that are available 24/7.
Credins has invested in expanding its network of ATMs and POSs, which have increased in number to assist customers at any time and in any place in Albania.
As a very good opportunity for new businesses to receive the POS service, which now has the opportunity to increase not only the level of sales, but also to monitor and manage the performance of the entire business as a whole, this is the right time to apply at any Credins branch.
What makes Credins Bank special is its strategy for continuous investment in the entire infrastructure of services it offers, which are not only contemporary, but designed to meet the various desires and needs of individuals and businesses, such as: bank accounts, loans and various investment products, etc./ CNA
