Purchasing Tips


Your BLUEBEAN Credit Card is accepted locally and internationally and is perfect for your day-to-day transacting needs. Just follow these easy steps!

Making a Purchase at a Store

Your BLUEBEAN Credit Card is accepted anywhere you see the MasterCard® logo at more than 28 million merchants locally and internationally.

When you wish to pay with your BLUEBEAN Credit Card:

  • Give your BLUEBEAN Credit Card to the cashier
  • The cashier will swipe your BLUEBEAN Credit Card through a terminal and ask you to key in your PIN
  • You will then be presented with a Credit Card slip. Check the slip and make sure the amount printed on it is correct. Sign and return it to the cashier
  • The cashier will give you a duplicate of the slip with your receipt. Keep the slip and check it against your monthly statement

TIP: If you do not see the MasterCard sign displayed, ask whether you may use your BLUEBEAN Credit Card before you start shopping

Making a Purchase via Telephone, Internet or Mail

For your convenience, you can also use your BLUEBEAN Credit Card to make purchases by phone, internet or mail.

You will have to provide:

  • your BLUEBEAN Credit Card number
  • its expiry date
  • the Card Verification Value Number (CVV). These 3 numbers appear at the back of your BLUEBEAN Credit Card on the signature panel.

SAFETY TIP: Your Card Verification Value Number (CVV) is a security measure to help prevent fraud. It should be given only to people you trust
