payments among Visa cardholders and the digital economy in Armenia, as well as uplifting the
country’s Olympic Games fanbase.”
The campaign will last from March 1 to June 1, 2024. To participate, holders of Unibank Visa
cards have to make 50,000 AMD or more non-cash payments with these cards in one month

monthly participants who score the highest in the sports activity organized at the final festive
event by Unisport Club.
