Komerční banka has been offering a premium payment card, PLATINUM, to its more discerning clients for the second year now. The range of its services makes this embossed card, featuring automatic repayment of funds drawn, one of the most attractive cards on the Czech market. In addition to individually set limits, the card provides its holders with above-standard travel insurance, unique insurance of golf and ski outfit, and assistance services including the Lifestyle service.

The Lifestyle service is a service that accommodates the client's own specific wishes, and is one of the most frequently used services that are available with PLATINUM. Booking a room in a Shanghai hotel with a parking area for large vehicles, a limousine picking up the client after shopping in Pařížská Street in Prague, or flowers delivered to the other end of the globe within two hours – the PLATINUM card is capable of making all these arrangements.

"When we designed the PLATINUM card, our objective was to offer luxury services to the card holders and their families. We are therefore happy to see that we have been successful. The team of professional PLATINUM operators is able to promptly meet most of the unusual requirements of our clients," says Radko Belada, Head of Retail Marketing at KB.

More comfortable travelling with PLATINUM

In addition to the high limits on the card, which predestine it for payments at luxury shops, clients appreciate PLATINUM in respect of travelling. The unrivalled insurance limit of CZK 5 million, covering medical emergencies outside the Czech Republic, protects both the card holders and their family members. Insurance covering air travel helps to mitigate the complications caused by delayed or cancelled flights and lost luggage. The PLATINUM card also opens the doors to more than 600 VIP lounges at airports all over the world.

All clients appreciate, and not only on their travels, free withdrawals from ATMs and at bank branches all over the world.

Golf with PLATINUM

The PLATINUM services also include unique insurance of golf and ski outfits and insurance of items on business trips such as data projectors, notebooks, PDAs, mobile telephone sets and samples of goods. Insurance covers the risk of theft and damage.
