Early repayment

The customer has the right to unilaterally terminate the loan agreement without any reason within 7 working days after its conclusion, unless the loan agreement provides for a longer period (time to reconsider). In this case, to use the loan amount, the customer is obliged to pay interest to the Bank, which is calculated in accordance with the annual actual interest rate stipulated in the loan agreement. No other compensation may be claimed from the customer in connection with the termination of the loan agreement.
The customer has the right to fulfill (repay) the obligations stipulated in the loan agreement ahead of schedule, regardless of whether such a right is stipulated in the loan agreement or not.
In case of early fulfillment (repayment) of the obligations under the loan agreement, the total cost of lending will be proportionally reduced.

Fines and penalties

In case of breach of the repayment terms stipulated in the contract, the Borrower shall pay a fine to the Bank at the rate of 0.13% for each day of default.
Repayments of overdue liabilities are repaid in the following order: fine/penalty, interest, principal amount.
No fines or penalties are envsiaged for early repayment of the loan.

Repayment and interest calculation procedure

The credit limit can be repaid in 3 ways.

1. Settlement cards with a grace period

The transactions made by the customer during each month are reflected in the monthly statement. The 1st, 10th or 25th of each month (or, the next working day, if the latter are non-working days) are the days when the statement is generated.
The customer is provided with a grace period of 15 days from the date when the statement is generated, during which no interest is charged in case of full repayment of the used part of the credit limit.
The customer is obliged to repay the debt specified in the statement before the end of the grace period.
The credit limit used by the customer is restored in the amount of repaid amounts.
In case of incomplete repayment of the obligation at the end of the grace period, interest is accrued according to the interest rates set by the Bank at that time. After the statement is generated, the customer is obliged to deposit at least 10% of the used part of the credit limit plus the accrued interest for the given month, from which the accrued interest for each month will be deducted, and the used credit limit of the customer will be restored for the rest of the amount. In case of non-payment of the 10% minimum payment for the credit limit, the limit used shall be considered overdue for that part, and a penalty for overdue amount will be calculated.

2. Settlement cards without grace period:

The credit limit is provided without a grace period, interest is accrued on the used credit limit on a daily basis.
On any day of each month, determined by the customer, the latter is obliged to repay the interest accrued on the used part of the credit limit. In case of non-payment of interest within the given period, a penalty is calculated.
The customer is given the opportunity to repay the accumulated interest in advance, 15 days before the repayment date.
Accrued interest is the sum of interest accrued on individual transactions for the period starting from the date of settlement of the transaction up to the date of repayment of the transaction amount.
Periodic deposits made by the customer to the accounts are used to repay the used limit, after which the limit is restored in the same amount.

3. Settlement cards with a decreasing limit without a grace period:

The credit limit is provided on the condition of a monthly reduction of the principal amount, for a maximum period of 36 months. At the same time, the used credit limit is reimbursed in the amount of repaid sums, but not more than the amount of the credit limit, and the general limit is reduced by a monthly equal amount of "Contract amount/Contract term".
Interest is accrued on a daily basis on the credit limit used.
On any day of each month, determined by the customer, the latter is obliged to repay the mandatory deductible amount defined by the credit limit agreement, as well as the interest accrued as of the given day. In case of non-payment of interest within the given period, a penalty is calculated.
The customer is given the opportunity to repay the accumulated interest in advance, 15 days before the repayment date, and the required deductible amount is repaid as of the repayment date defined by the credit limit agreement.

PIN - code

Personal Identification Number (PIN), which is used to identify the cardholder in case of certain operations/transactions, which is required when withdrawing cash from ATMs and when carrying out operations/transactions through POS-terminals.
The card is issued and reissued without printing the PIN code, however at the customer's discretion, the PIN code may be physically provided. The card's PIN-code is printed in one copy and provided to the cardholder in a closed envelope, and in case the PIN-code is not physically provided, the customer will have the opportunity to set a new PIN code for the card and activate the card using the ATM (PIN-code generation using OTP*).
The cardholder can change the PIN code at his / her own discretion through the ATM. For changing the PIN-code it is also required to enter the current PIN code.
If the cardholder has forgotten the PIN code, he/she can set a new PIN-code using OTP or apply to the Bank for re-issuance of the card-PIN-code, by making corresponding payment according to the tariff.
If the wrong PIN is entered three times in a row, the card is automatically blocked and/or can be confiscated.
The cardholder is responsible for safekeeping the card's PIN-code.
For contact-free cards, it is not required to enter a PIN code in case of transaction in the amount of up to 20,000 AMD or equivalent in foreign currency. Different value may apply in foreign countries, depending on the limits set by the respective payment systems for that particular country.
The following cards are issued/reissued by also printing a PIN code

  • Attached/additional cards in which the cardholder is different from the main cardholder.
  • Visa Pay Sticker and Visa Mini Fob cards,
  • Cards of customers who have not indicated a mobile phone number in their files.

* One-time password (OTP) sent by SMS to the mobile phone number provided by the cardholder to the Bank in writing, which is used for generating or changing the card's PIN-code and activating the card. The PIN code can be set through the ATM of any bank participating in the payment and settlement system serving the card, if the ATM is equipped with appropriate technical and software solutions (in the case of Converse Bank, these are the ATMs located in the branches).

Additional/Attached Cards

The Bank may issue one or more additional/attached virtual cards in the name of the cardholder or the persons designated by the cardholder in advance upon providing reliable information on additional/attached cardholders.

Additional card - additional card provided under the same card account and under the same payment system /ArCa - ArCa, Visa - Visa, Mastercard - Mastercard/.
Attached card - additional card provided under the same card account, under different payment systems /Visa - Mastercard, ArCa; Mastercard - Visa, ArCa; ArCa - Visa, Mastercard/.

  • The additional/attached card can be used only by the person in whose name it was issued.
  • The amount of all operations/transactions made with additional/attached cards is charged from the main card account.
  • In case of closing the main card, the additional/attached cards are also closed.
  • The cardholder who is also the holder of the account is responsible for operations/transactions made by the additional/attached cardholder, including for overcharge.

Rules on card issuance and use

The rules for issuing and using the card include provisions related to the use, maintenance, security, appeal of card transactions and other important provisions.
The rules are available at the following link: https://conversebank.am/en/cards/

Upon receipt of the card, it is necessary to sign in the signature field of the relevant party. The absence or non-compliance of the signature with the identity document containing the signature is a legal basis for refusing to service the card and confiscating it without any compensation.
In case of making a payment with the card at sales and service points or receiving cash at the cash points, it is necessary to sign the slip (receipt) by checking the transaction / operation amount. A signature may not be required if a PIN code or another card identification code required by the payment system rules has been used, which is set (applied) at the time of the operation/transaction and/or touch-free transaction was made within the amount of up to AMD 20,000.

Safety rules

For security reasons, it is recommended:

  • Immediately inform the Bank, in case you have not received the OTP within the established period, when creating a PIN code through an ATM;
  • When setting a new PIN, choose the most complex combination of numbers without using consecutive or duplicate numbers.
  • not to provide the card or its PIN-password to other persons,
  • not to write the PIN code on the card,
  • not to enter / disclose the PIN code in the Internet environment, as in case of transactions in the Internet environment or without presenting a card, entering the PIN code is not required, and is not envisaged by any payment system. In case you have entered or communicated the PIN code, it is necessary to immediately terminate the transaction, inform the Bank and block the card.
  • When using the card, it is necessary to enter the PIN code in such a way that it is not visible to third parties, it is not recorded by any device,
  • Before carrying out an operation/transaction in the online environment using the card, please get familiarized in detail with the conditions of shopping, delivery, cancellation of the operation/transaction, return of goods from the particular website, availability of contact details on the website, etc.
  • When carrying out an online operation/transaction, you should use reputable and reliable websites adequately secured by such systems as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Verified by Visa security system, Mastercard SecureCode and other security systems.
  • not to use ATMs, cash points, points of sale/service that may seem to you unreliable or suspicious, as well as when additional equipment, wires, cables, adhesive tapes, or other suspicious items are attached to their card reader, keyboard, or cash disbursement window.

The bank provides the cardholder an opportunity to receive SMS (short) messages on receipts and withdrawals on card, thereby preventing unauthorized use of the card. Upon receipt of the above SMS, it is recommended that you confirm that the operation/transaction was made with your or your authorized persons' knowledge, instructions or participation.
3D Secure online payment security system has been introduced for the Bank's cardholders: this is a one-time password provided by the Bank, which the cardholder receives via SMS on the mobile phone number or via e-mail previously provided to the Bank.

  • Confiscated cards issued by the Bank are kept in the Bank for 30 days, ie the cardholder must present himself/herself to the Bank within 30 days from the date of card confiscation in order to get the card back.

Card blocking and account freezing

Due to the need to protect the interests of the cardholder, if the card is not in circulation for 6 months or more, the Bank may unilaterally freeze the card account and block the card without additionally informing the cardholder, which, however, does not restrict the Bank's right to collect the appropriate amount from the card account in order to fulfill the cardholder's payment obligations.

  1. The cardholder has overdue liabilities to the Bank,
  2. The cardholder did not make the tariff payments on time,
  3. A corresponding letter of blocking was received from the competent state bodies,

The Bank has the right to prohibit or restrict card transactions and block the card in the higher-risk countries, if the card data (card validity term, CVC2 codes) have been incorrectly entered in online environment multiple times.
