Araratbank Debit Cards

A Araratbank debit card is a payment instrument linked to the customer's current bank account. Unlike a credit card, you can use only your own funds available in the account. The card allows you to pay for purchases in stores and online, withdraw cash from ATMs, transfer money, and use the bank's online services.

Araratbank offers 15 types of debit cards for different categories of customers, from basic to premium cards, including cards for young people, pensioners, and travelers.

• Classic card - a standard product for everyday payments, with free or conditionally free service
• Cashback card - bonuses or a percentage of the purchase amount are credited, with increased cashback in selected categories
• Premium card - an extended range of privileges, priority service, concierge service
• Youth / student card - for customers aged 14/16 and above, with free service
• Card for pensioners - special conditions, higher interest on the account balance
• Multi-currency card - AMD, USD, and EUR accounts linked to one card
• Travel card - free cash withdrawals abroad, insurance, miles

The service fee depends on the type of card and its terms of use. Some Araratbank cards offer free service if the bank's conditions are met, such as minimum card turnover, a minimum account balance, or salary payments credited to the account. The exact conditions for free service are specified in the product card for each offer on AFM.am.

Holders of certain Araratbank debit cards can participate in the bank's loyalty program. Bonuses are credited for cashless purchases as a percentage of the transaction amount or as points that can be exchanged for discounts from the bank's partners. Some cards offer increased cashback in selected categories such as supermarkets, gas stations, restaurants, and travel.

The terms of the loyalty program, including available bonus categories, the maximum cashback amount, and rules for using points, are specified in the product card for each offer.

Cash withdrawals from Araratbank ATMs are generally free for the bank's cardholders within the established limit. Withdrawals from ATMs of other banks and abroad may be subject to a fee. Daily and monthly cash withdrawal limits depend on the type of card.

Transfers between Araratbank cards are processed instantly and without a fee. Transfers to cards issued by other banks in Armenia and abroad are carried out according to the bank's tariffs.
