The Bank of Moscow, jointly with the Tretyakov Gallery and Visa, offer a unique banking product - cards with images of Russian painting masterpieces. These cards provide us with an opportunity to contribute to the development of the museum, just making usual purchases, without spending our own money. For every purchase paid for with such a card, the Bank of Moscow will transfer up to 1% of the purchase amount from its own funds to the State Tretyakov Gallery Support Foundation. The holders of these cards will also have access to a number of privileges, including invitations to new exhibitions opening.

Within the project, the Bank of Moscow and the Tretyakov Gallery offer several card designs, their set is planned to be changed in time, continuing the Russian painting theme.
Customers can choose from credit and debit cards of Visa Classic, Visa Gold, Visa Platinum and Visa Infinite categories, and issue additional cards of any design.

Among the paintings, used for cards design, are the following outstanding works of great masters: "Black Suprematic Square" by Kazimir Malevich, "Rye" by Ivan Shishkin, "Demon Seated" by Mikhail Vrubel, "Lake" by Isaac Levitan, "Overcast" by Wassily Kandinsky, etc. The circulations of cards of each design are limited.

"Undoubtedly, the launch of a new co-branded product is a significant event for any bank. In this case, it is also an event in the cultural life of the country. Art lovers now have the opportunity to issue credit cards with paintings from the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery on them. Our project enables our customers not only to touch the art, but also to contribute to the development of culture," says Dmitry Breytenbikher, the Vice President of the Bank of Moscow.

The cards issue will be started after the international "Night at the Museum" campaign, but even now anyone can pre-order a card on the website of the Bank of Moscow.
