BOV Marsa branches to merge

Bank of Valletta announced yesterday that the operations of its branch at Bridge Wharf, Marsa, will be merged with those of the recently modernised and enlarged branch premises located at Racecourse Street in Marsa. The merger, which will be taking place in the near future, completes the Banks operational plan for the locality of Marsa.
The process involved the purchase of new premises at Racecourse street with the objective of building a branch to the highest customer service standards and that is centrally located as merits such an important locality.
The BOV Branch at Racecourse Street Marsa extends over two floors. On the ground floor, customers can avail themselves of cashiering and local banking services. The first floor is dedicated to private banking services and to business banking. This layout is specifically designed to allow for the provision of a personalised service to customers in a private environment.
The Branch is also equipped with a Cashlink ATM as well as Night Safe facilities and Safe Deposit Lockers.
In view of the merger, the human resources complement at the Racecourse Street branch is being strengthened with the addition of a number of employees currently deployed at the Bridge Wharf branch. The Branch will also be in a position to offer a range of Investment Advisory Services including Private Banking, Stockbroking, Fund Management and Life Assurance.
Over the coming weeks leading up to the effective date of the merger in December 2003, customers currently using BOV's services at BOV’s Bridge Wharf Branch are being informed on a personal basis of these developments and are being assured of a seamless transition process which will result in a higher quality service being placed at their disposal.
