New or existing Bank of Valletta customers who take out a BOV Lifelink Savings Plan until the end of next month will be eligible for a free Lm15 Talk Time voucher from Vodafone or Go Mobile. This gift offer is available with all BOV Lifelink plans with a minimum annualised regular premium of Lm240.

Customers who take out a BOV Lifelink Single Premium Plan or a BOV Lifelink Investment Bond during this time will automatically qualify for the gift offer.

Speaking about the new offer, Mario Grima, Executive Head Bancassurance, said: "It's never early or late to start saving for one's future and that of one's family. Nowadays, savings plans are extremely affordable and present an ideal opportunity to all who wish to invest some money for their children's future as well as their own.

"The concept of Savings Plans is also gaining ground especially when one takes into consideration the pensions issue and the importance of retirement planning."

Mr Grima added: "With affordable saving plans that start from as little as Lm20 per month, anyone may opt for a financially more secure future. BoV offers a wide range of products under the BOV Lifelink Brand, which are issued and underwritten by Middlesea Valletta Life Assurance Company Limited, and customers may choose the plan which best suits their needs in an affordable way: unit-linked plans, with-profits plans, protection plans or a combination of savings, investment as well as protection.

"As part of BoV's commitment to the community in which it operates, the bank is also pledging to donate Lm1 to the Daniel Delicata Foundation for every policy taken up during the offer period."
