MBNA Ireland Launches New-Look Credit Card Website

    MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, December 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The new site, designed in line with the current World Wide Web Consortium accessibility guidelines, features a whole new look with clean and clear icons and colours. However, the visual improvements are merely the tip of the iceberg with many changes made to the usability and navigation having been made.

The MBNA Irish credit card site has been redesigned with a focus on being easier to use and more accessible for customers and visitors. This has been achieved through clearer labeling of sections and easy to see and use buttons that take users to the various areas of the site. There's also been a raft of new features introduced to will help customers manage their credit card accounts online more effectively. These include easier access to helpful information about safeguarding their card accounts and better understanding credit.

Speaking about the new website, Richard Honey, E-Commerce Executive for Bank of America Europe Card Services, commented: "We have listened to feedback from our customers and have re-designed our website to be more contemporary and customer-focused. An ever-increasing number of our customers use online channels to manage their credit card accounts and the re-design of our website makes it easier to use."

He went on to say: "We are committed to providing simplicity and choice for our millions of customers. We will continue to work hard to make sure we deliver on their needs by supplying them with clear and relevant information."

Major improvements have been made to the Card Services and Benefits section as well as the "Choose a Credit Card" area. New customers can now use the services and benefits section of the site to activate their credit card and register for various online services that will help with account management. In the "Choose a Card" area, site users can now learn more about the range of competitive MBNA credit cards that are available and easily compare them with each other.

The new comparison section allows potential card holders to get a clear picture of what's on offer from MBNA Ireland and make an educated decision on the best card for their situation. More advice on security and account protection is available to card holders in the credit card "Protection and Security". Possibly the clearest example of MBNA's commitment to transparent lending is the introduction of Plain English guides, packed with information on managing credit, making payments and tackling debt.
