OREANDA-NEWS. May 16, 2012. On a daily basis, the average SEB client uses 3 different bank cards. The SEB Picture Card – designed by the clients themselves – definitely has the highest emotional value. Our statistics show that photos related to the family or hobbies are put on the card the most often. The picture card is also quite often used as a joint family bank card of a husband and wife, and is decorated with a photo of the family or children, reported the press-centre of SEB.

Triin Messimas, Development Manager of Private Loans at SEB:
“As a means of payment, the picture card has properties similar to a credit card: for example, when travelling, the picture card can be used for booking a hotel and renting a car, also, for making purchases in an online shop.”

The picture can be chosen from your own favourite photos or from the SEB gallery.
In the photo gallery on the SEB website, there are nature photos, sports photos, as well as city views. For the European Football Championship, we offer a football-theme picture card.
The picture card can be ordered by those who are not clients of SEB, since you do not have to have a previous account at SEB for this.

If you already have a SEB bank card, you can swap it with a picture card for free.
If you order the SEB picture card in May, it is free of charge; the regular price is EUR 3.20.
The monthly maintenance fee of a regular debit card applies to the picture card, but if the client has joined any SEB packages, the picture card is free of the monthly maintenance fee.

SEB has been issuing picture cards since October 2006.

At the moment, picture cards make up almost 12% of all active bank cards.
