Product Protection Insurance Covers card purchases with OP-Visa’s credit and debit facilities

Your purchases are insured regardless of whether you pay for them with the card’s credit or debit facility.

Coverage from blunders for 180 days

Your card purchases are covered for six months from the time of purchase in Finland, abroad and in online stores.

Free-of-charge insurance only for owner-customers

Product Protection Insurance is only included in the OP-Visa cards held by OP cooperative bank’s owner-customers and in joint cards linked to them.

Product Protection Insurance protects your card purchases from blunders

Sometimes all sorts of things happen, the phone slips from your hand or coffee spills on your laptop. Luckily, Product Protection Insurance covers card purchases made with OP-Visa from blunders for six months. You can enjoy this benefit for owner-customers by actively purchasing with your OP-Visa card.

Product Protection Insurance is a free insurance for owner-customers who have an OP-Visa Credit/Debit combination card, OP-Visa Gold, OP-Visa Platinum, or an OP-Mastercard. Joint holders of any of these cards are also entitled to the benefit, if the principal card-holder is an owner-customer. The insurance cannot be bought separately.

Coverage for your purchases, also those made abroad or online

Product Protection Insurance covers your purchases paid with OP-Visa’s credit and debit facilities in Finland, abroad and in online stores. The insurance covers purchases that conform to the terms and conditions for 180 days from the time when the card-holder acquires the item.

Product Protection Insurance may provide cover, for example, if your brand-new spectacles get broken, your new tablet falls to the floor or ground and gets broken or the screen of your mobile phone is damaged. The deductible is EUR 75, and up to EUR 2,000 is compensated for an individual item.

Insurance benefit for owner-customers

By becoming our owner-customer you are entitled, in addition to the Product Protection Insurance, to, for example, daily banking services at a lower cost and you earn value-for-money OP bonuses which offset banking service charges and insurance premiums. You can also buy, sell and switch many of our funds with no charges.

Product Protection Insurance is issued by Pohjola Insurance Ltd.

• It is advisable to set spending and withdrawal limits for OP-Visa in the case of the loss of the card or fraud.
• You can set such daily limits for withdrawals, card purchases requiring pre-authorisation hold and online payments and other distance purchases. Set the limits both on the credit and debit side.
• The new spending/withdrawal limits will take effect immediately after you have changed them on OP-mobile or at op.fi as well as in customer service during its opening hours.
• We recommend that you change these limits whenever you need.

Please note that the account may have a spending/withdrawal limit that restricts card payments, in addition to spending/withdrawal limit linked to the card.

Where to change the spending and withdrawal limits?

You can set the limits easily at op.fi and on OP-mobile. You can also call OP telephone service, tel. 010 253 1333 or visit an OP cooperative bank branch to change the limits.

Verified by Visa is a service that enhances online payment security.

When you pay for purchases online through the Verified by Visa service, you will go to op.fi in order to accept your purchase in encrypted internet connection using your personal online service user identifiers. This way both the merchant and buyer have been reliably authenticated. You can identify the web shops that use the services with the Verified by Visa logo.

2. Choose Visa as payment method.
3. Enter your card's number and expiry date.

6. You receive confirmation of the payment completed successfully.
7. You return to the merchant's website and receive a confirmation of the order.
8. When you pay for your purchase using the credit facility, the amount debited will be shown in your next Visa bill. When you pay with OP-Visa Debit, the purchase will be debited directly to your bank account.

• The withdrawal fee for OP-Visa Credit is two euros plus 2,75% of the amount withdrawn.
