Visa application to South Korea becomes a breeze for RCBC Bankard cardholders.

RCBC Bankard, the credit card arm of the Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC), signed last week a memorandum of agreement with the Korean Embassy to provide simplified visa requirements to its premium cardholders.

The agreement indicates that RCBC Bankard premium cardholders may apply for a Korean multiple visa for up to five years without submitting financial documents such as bank certificate and income tax return.

Instead, they will only need to present RCBC Bankard Premium Credit Card and an original copy of the latest three months statement of account together with other documentary requirements.

This benefit will be available for the whole of 2020.

RCBC is one of only three financial institutions that offer the such services.
