Exciting trips to three of the most beautiful European capitals were awarded to three customers of UniCredit Bulbank, holders of V PAY cards.

Svetlana Gecheva, Oleg Vukadinov and Nikolai Bachvarov are the first group of lucky holders of V PAY cards to win the big prizes of the lottery – three-day trips for two to Rome, Barcelona and Paris respectively.

According to the rules of the lottery organized by UniCredit Bulbank, every week the Bank’s customers who have effected payments with their V PAY card participate in the casting of lots for three awards - Canon camera, GPS Garmin or elegant suitcase. At the end of each month until the end of 2009 all clients will also participate in the casting of lots for the big prizes - three-day trips abroad for two.

The first group of lucky winners will travel together with a partner of their choice as early as the end of this month. Thus, even in a crisis situation, the customers of UniCredit Bulbank can obtain an extra vacation – with the compliments of the Bank.

The latest casting of lots included not only trips but also the awards for the period 29 June – 8 July. Ivan Sarmadjiev from Plovdiv won a GPS, and the camera and the suitcase went to Sofia and Kozlodoui respectively. A total of 108 attractive prizes will be awarded after weekly casting of lots by the end of the year.

The only eligibility requirement to participate in the lottery is for the customers to hold an UniCredit Bulbank’s V PAY debit card and to have effected with it a purchase or payment in any commercial site or the Internet. Participation in the lottery is automatic.

In addition to the possibility to win a prize or a trip, all customers of UniCredit Bulbank paying with V PAY, win tranquility.
